Description

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, "the Kate", presents The Quebe Sisters on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 7:30 pm. The Quebe Sisters deliver an authentic triple fiddle and three-part harmony sound, fronting an innovative Progressive Western Swing band of archtop guitar, upright bass, fiddles and sibling harmony. The Dallas-based five-piece presents a unique Americana blend of Western Swing, Jazz-influenced Swing, Country, Texas-Style Fiddling, and Western music. "We differentiate our music as 'Progressive Western Swing' from simply 'Western Swing' because we aren't trying to sound just like Bob Wills," Grace Quebe explains. "Instead, we continue his vision, playing the style he pioneered in an authentic way by incorporating new genres and songs, interpreting them using our own unique voice through Country instrumentation." The band's stripped-down acoustic instrumentation breathes new life into seasoned sounds once found in Texas dance halls and honky-tonks. Combine the musical stylings of The Mills Brothers, Ray Price, Count Basie, Willie Nelson, and you have none other than The Quebe Sisters.
