You are subscribed to Folklife Events for Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. Read up on the Quebe Sisters at our blog, Folklife Today, then come to the concert on Wednesday! The Quebe Sisters Band is composed of Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe (pronounced Kway-bee), who all sing and play the fiddle, and the Clark twins, Penny Lea (guitar and mandolin) and Katy Lou (banjo, piano, and accordion). They perform a refreshing blend of Texas-style fiddling, vintage country, bluegrass, and jazz & swing standards. The Quebes' unique brand of music has taken the Americana music scene by storm. They have been awarded the Crescendo Award by the Western Music Association and the Western Swing Album of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists. They have appeared at the Grand Ole Opry, the Kennedy Center, NYC's Lincoln Center, the Ryman Auditorium, the Marty Stuart Show, the Eddie Stubbs Show on WSM, The Birchmere, the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree (as host band), the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, multiple European tours and the National Folk Festival. They have appeared in concert with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Merle Haggard, Asleep at the Wheel, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers, Riders in the Sky, and Marty Stuart. See them at the Library of Congress on August 20! |
