Sisters Of Swing Mood Indigo CD

The Sisters of Swing certainly prove the old saying that “good things come in threes”! Ruthie, Roberta, and Gaye combine their musical personalities into one harmonious delivery of the great American songbook. Their performances are fresh, sophisticated, and fun, with original arrangements that make the familiar standards sound new again. And true to their name, these sisters swing! An evening with the Sisters of Swing will give you a 21st-century taste of the wonderful female singing group sound and the timeless songs of long ago.
