SongSisters – Sue Fink, Patti Shaffner, and Amy Dixon-Kolar – are award-winning singer/songwriter friends who discovered that their own distinctive styles blend together, creating something richer than the individual, stronger as a whole. They delight in and celebrate each other’s music: each “sister” takes the lead on original songs, the others adding soaring harmonies and instrumentation. Audiences enjoy their diverse repertoire of original and thoughtfully chosen cover songs.
In 2008, Sue invited Amy and Patti to join her for an in-the-round gig opportunity. She thought their varied styles – Sue’s whimsical songs, Patti’s forays into folk and jazz, and Amy’s impressive finger-picking, with folk, Celtic, and blues influences – would make for an interesting evening. How pleased they were to discover they loved performing together! As they continued to grow together, they began to feel like sisters in song and, thus, became SongSisters.
They meet regularly in Chicago (the half-way point of the 85-mile distance between them) to rehearse and re-imagine their original songs for the trio. They also enjoy re-interpreting favorite cover songs, instilling them with SongSisters’ flair. When writing new compositions it is often with each other in mind, knowing the songs will be much richer when played and sung together. SongSisters tours the Midwest and beyond, performing at clubs, music series, benefits, house concerts, festivals, and live radio shows.
In 2013, they recorded their SongSisters LIVE! CD, which has received nationwide attention and airplay. On their solo CDs, SongSisters can be heard on multiple tracks as they support each other’s efforts.
Their newest CD, Right Now, was released October 24, 2024, and contains originals and two covers loved by SongSisters. It is available at their Bandcamp music site.
While Sue, Patti, and Amy flourish in their individual careers, coming together as SongSisters always adds a sense of celebration to their musical journeys. They invite their audiences to come join them in joyful song. https://www.songsisters.net/
Many Faces is an emergent all women trio from southwest, Michigan.
The powerful vocals of Beth Patterson, Halley King, and Athena Kaufman combine forces in Many Faces. Weaving harmony rich vocals with vulnerable lyrics, their all original songs speak to the human condition and healing journey that arises from a commitment to growth and self-actualization. Joined onstage by the talented omnipresent multi-instrumentalist Carolyn Koebel, Many Faces will awaken and inspire the soul within.
