Sweetback Sisters (Monthly Program)

Introducing? The Sweetback Sisters! This young group of pie-eyed plunkers performs a broad array of traditional old-time & honky-tonk music reminiscent of the 1940s & 50s. With their hot licks and sweet girl-on-girl harmonies, they?re sure to warm the heart of any of you modern day cowboys and girls.The Sweetback line-up features Zara Bode and Emily Miller on lead and (surrogate) sister harmony vocals. They are joined by an all-star cast of instrumentalists, including West Virginian triple threat Jesse Milnes on fiddle, guitar, and low brother harmonies; Stefan ?da guns? Amidon on drums; Philly?s little rolling thunder Ross Bellenoit on rippin? Telecaster and lap steel; and a slew of incredible bass players including the sweet slappin? Joseph DeJarnette (WIYOS), Corey Dimario (Crooked Still), and our newest addition Miss Amanda Kowalski (The April Verch Band).This wild bunch are sure to please, so get yer shanks in gear and swoon while they croon the country classics!There will be a brief FSGW membership meeting at the conclusion of the intermission, where we will take nominations from the floor for election to serve on the 2008-2009 FSGW Board of Directors.
