The Show On The Road – T Sisters

This week on the show, Z. speaks with Oakland’s soulful singing T Sisters. For this trio of sisters, singing harmony-rich songs isn’t just their full-time job, it’s a way of life. It’s what they do — and damn do they do it well.

Sisters Erika, Chloe, and Rachel Tietjen are harmonic masters. Whether it’s demonstrated in their sassy originals accompanied by upright bass, guitar, banjo, and mandolin, or with their delicious vocal-layer-cake covers of hits by Kylie Minogue and Paul Simon, family runs deep through the music. T Sisters will be releasing their next EP, We Are Bound, produced by Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) in March 2019.

In Their Words: "Family runs deep through our music, and it shows in our harmonies. To create a great blend, you have to hear yourself as part of a whole, being mindful of volume, how you say a word and where you end it. A lot comes down to listening — giving up some of your ego and individuality for a moment, and finding places where each one of us shines. It's for the sake of that harmony that we compromise." — Erika Tietjen
