When they raise their fiddles and play, audiences marvel again at the intricacy of the sound issuing forth. When the girls sing their vintage-style three-part harmony, audiences are blown away. Add the rhythm guitar of Joey McKenzie and the upright bass of Drew Phelps, and the Quebe Sisters band becomes a force of nature. Whether it’s a Western swing classic a la Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, a swing standard (Benny Goodman), vintage country shuffle (Ray Price) or Western anthem that would do Sons of the Pioneers proud, the band is phenomenal. The house comes down, too, when they launch into bluegrass or a traditional, Texas old-time fiddle breakdown. Reaction is the same wherever the Fort Worth-based group goes – and it’s been around – to concert halls, festivals, cowboy gatherings and rodeos across North America, as well as The Kennedy Center, the Grand Ole Opry and NYC’s Lincoln Center. Concert performances from Canada to California and Austin to Boston to Bangor, Maine, include shows with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Asleep at the Wheel, Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, Riders in the Sky and The Reno Philharmonic.

    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Sarah Nesbit 972-744-4612 or [email protected] EISEMANN CENTER PRESENTS CHRISTMAS THE COWBOY WAY WITH RIDERS IN THE SKY AND THE QUEBE SISTERS TUE, DEC. 17, 2019 at 7:30 PM RICHARDSON, TX – Eisemann Center Presents Riders In The Sky with The Quebe Sisters in Christmas the Cowboy Way at the Eisemann Center, 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson, Texas on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at 7:30 pm in the Hill Performance Hall. 42 years ago, Ranger Doug, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played that first date on the bitter cold evening of November 11th, 1977 at Herr Harry’s Frank N’ Stein Rathskeller in Nashville, and small listening room dates followed. By August of the following year demand was building, and while Windy Bill left, Woody Paul joined, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair, where the trio played 10 days for $2500 and bought their own rooms and meals out of that! A first wave followed, including appearances on Austin City Limits; recording contracts with Rounder, then MCA, then Columbia; guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry leading to membership in 1982; and a three-year run on The Nashville Network with a TV show called “Tumbleweed Theater,” which yet in turn led to a seven-year run on public radio with “Riders Radio Theater. And so the second wave broke, sending the boys to Hollywood to star in “Riders In The Sky” on CBS for a year on Saturday mornings, introducing them to yet another generation.

  • Grace, Sophia Et Hulda Quebe Sont Les Filles De M
    Krum water tower Krum Methodist Church Grace, Sophia et Hulda Quebe sont les filles de M. et Mme Clément Quebe; elles ont grandi à Krum, une ville d'environ 4 000 habitants qui se situe au nord-ouest de Denton, au Texas. Quand les trois filles montèrent sur scène pour jouer et chanter leurs harmonies à trois voix, le public fut époustouflé. Si on ajoute le style swing de la guitare du champion du monde des fiddlers Joey McKenzie et la contrebasse de Drew Phelps, le Quebe Sisters Band devient une force de la nature. Partout où le groupe passe, la réaction est la même !.... À leur palmarès, on trouve le Grand Ole Opry, le Kennedy Center, le Lincoln Center de New-York ainsi que les plus grands festivals et salles de concert des Etats-Unis et du Canada. L’année 2009 les gratifia d’une toute nouvelle consécration : une participation au célèbre Marty Stuart Show. Avec leur mélange de styles rafraîchissants, que ce soit du western swing classique à la Bob Wills et les Texas Playboys, ou un vieux standard de jazz ou de swing à la Benny Goodman, ou de la country de la vieille époque ou des morceaux westerns que ne renieraient pas les Sons of the Pioneer, le Quebe Sisters Band est phénoménal. Rien ne leur est étranger aussi bien le Bluegrass que les morceaux au violon dans le plus pur style texan. Récemment nommé Groupe de l’Année par The Académy of Western Artists et récipiendaire du Crescendo Award par la Western Music Association, ainsi que groupe de l’Année à la fois par le Dallas Observer et le Ft.
