WATCH: The Quebe Sisters, “Pierce the Blue”

Posted on by Editor

Artist: The Quebe Sisters
Hometown: Dallas, Texas
Song: “Pierce the Blue”
Album: The Quebe Sisters
Release Date: September 20, 2019

In Their Words: “This album represents several ‘firsts’ for us, and it captures a new phase and the start of a new direction for our sound. In many ways the process of making this album felt like starting over; deconstructing what we knew about music and then trying to put it back together again. Making and producing this album was a very collaborative effort where we sought to diversify our sound using our same instrumentation. It features solos from everyone in the band as well as originals, including ‘Pierce the Blue.’ This song has two parallel themes running through it. It’s about a difficult season of our lives we went through, and it’s also about universal pain we all feel that brings about our longing for reconciliation, change, and a better tomorrow.” — The Quebe Sisters

LIVE AT LUCKY BARN: The Quebe Sisters, ‘Every Which-a-Way’

Posted on by Editor

We've teamed up with the good people at Pickathon to present a season's worth of archival — and incredible — videos from the Pacific Northwest festival's Lucky Barn Series. Tune in every fourth Tuesday of the month to catch a new clip.

The fourth episode from the Spring season of the Lucky Barn Series showcases the Quebe Sisters. Fiddle trios have a long history in roots music — one these sisters are daring to revisit while putting their three-part, sibling-sweet harmonies on top, to boot. But long before sharing stages with legends like George Strait, Willie Nelson, Marty Stuart, Merle Haggard, and Connie Price, the Quebe Sisters — Hulda, Sophia, and Grace  — got inspired by kids their age at a fiddle competition and started fiddling at the relatively young ages of 7, 10, and 12. Some 18 years later, it's safe to say they have a knack for it.

Pickathon comes back to the Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon, from August 5-7, 2016. Recent additions to the festival lineup include Mac DeMarco, King Sunny Ade, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Joseph, Ry X, Cory Henry, Promised Land Sound, Town Mountain, Myke Bogan, Blossom, Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms, Open Mike Eagle, and Chanti Darling. Tickets and the full lineup are available now.
