Sister Swing
Sister Swing is an exciting trio of singers that has captured the sound
of the girl groups of the 1930s and 1940s bringing to the 21st century the
wonderful female singing group sound and the timeless songs of long ago.
Heavily influenced by the three part harmonies of groups like the Andrews
Sisters, Sister Swing brings a new sound to an old style. They have been
performing since 1996 when they sang with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.
