Doors 7:00 PM
Tickets
Twins Rachel and Chloe Tietjen and their older sister Erika offer up potent lyricism and catchy melodies from stunning a cappella harmonies to pop to groovy indie folk.
The sisters’ contemporary yet classic sound invites comparisons to modern family bands like the Avett Brothers and First Aid Kit. With their soaring sibling harmonies, sassy stage presence and inventive songwriting, these three sisters bring a soulful take on folk/Americana music.
In 2019, T Sisters participated in American Musicians Abroad, a selective State Department-sponsored program fostering diplomacy through music. The sisters performed and conducted workshops in the Middle East and North Africa emphasizing girls empowerment and the role of music in creating social awareness and change.
Rachel (vox, guitar, banjo), Chloe (vox, percussion) and Erika (vox, guitar) are all songwriters in their own right and switch off on lead vocals. While their voices blend seamlessly, each has a distinct singing and writing style that results in an eclectic repertoire unified by a landscape of close harmonies.
