The Short Sisters
It's been almost four years since we last heard the extraordinary harmonies of The Short Sisters in Woods Hole. While not actually related, Fay Baird, Kate Seeger and Kim Wallach have such a tight vocal blend that one might assume they are in fact sisters. The three women sing mainly a cappella. But they also perform songs accompanied by guitar, autoharp and banjo. Their repertoire ranges from traditional to contemporary and original songs, including rounds, Sacred Harp songs, and ballads. Together since 1979, the trio has performed at numerous festivals and coffee houses throughout the United States. They have recorded five albums. Walter McKenzie with the White Springs Folk Club describes their performance earlier this year as having "'...style, grace and a sense of fun that left us all smiling, laughing, and yes, even singing, all for the pure joy of it!" This concert promises to be a not to miss evening of delightful and luscious harmony singing by The Short Sisters.
