Like their pseudo-sister role models, the Davis Sisters, the Sweetback Sisters sing country songs in close, surrogate-sister harmony and matching dresses. Their repertoire combines several of the Sisters’ passions — country music from before they were born and new interpretations of those traditions — to create a fresh take on what it means to be country.
The Sweetback line-up features the lavish voices of Zara Bode and Emily Miller joined by an all-star cast of instrumentalists including: West Virginian triple threat Jesse Milnes; Stefan Amidon on drums; Philly’s stringed slayer Ross Bellenoit on rippin’ Telecaster, and the newest Sweetback Sister Bridget Kearney on bass.

Their debut EP Bang! was released in early 2007 and earned them a spot on A Prairie Home Companion’s talent contest for twenty-somethings. A full length album Chicken Ain’t Chicken was released June 30th on the Signature Sounds label.
