Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Family Matters

No, they aren’t actually kin. But the Sweetback Sisters do hark back to the glory days of high-harmonizin’ country family acts. Though rooted in the sweet sounds of acts such as the Everly Brothers and the Judds, this sextet imbues its twang-informed tunes with a distinctly modern, and often precocious, attitude. Expect aggressive forays into rockabilly, honky-tonk and swing. This Sunday, November 18, the band plays the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington.
