ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Quebe Sisters
Dallas, TX
Grace, Sophia, and Hulda Quebe have delivered their authentic triple fiddle and three-part harmony sound to concert halls and festivals across North America and Europe for over two decades. The sisters front an innovative, progressive western swing band with stripped-down acoustic instrumentation (archtop guitar, upright bass, fiddles) and sibling harmony. Along with bandmates Simon Stipp and Daniel Parr, they breathe new life into seasoned sounds once found in Texas dance halls and honky-tonks with their unique blend of western swing, jazz-influenced swing, country, Texas-style fiddling, and western music. Innovation has led the sisters to combine old sounds with new feelings and old feelings with new sounds. It’s not nostalgia that drives the band, but the aspiration to take the music back to its roots and sustain the spirit of swing.
