Barbara Nesbitt & The Whiskey Sisters To Release Debut Long Player

Many of us in Virginia especially those in the Hampton Roads area will remember Barbara Nesbitt (Tim Flannery & the Lunatic Fringe) from her time with Rare Daze as a wee lass with a big big voice.

Now-a-days Nesbitt is living in Austin and has teamed up with Teal Collins (The Mother Truckers) just about a year ago to form the six piece group The Whiskey Sisters a powerhouse harmony driven Americana Rock n' Roll band. The group has been packing a crowd in at their residency at the Continental Club in Austin ever since. After a very successful record funding campaign, and a Garrison Brothers Whiskey sponsorship (the only legally made Whiskey in TX) provided the means to get into Congress House & Summit Studios in Austin to recorded under the group's production.

The Whiskey Sisters released their self-titled debut studio long player this past Tuesday. The disc captures the group's tight arrangements and fiery musicianship, showcasing 12 all-original compositions, and features special guest Josh Zee of The Mother Truckers on guitar.
The Whiskey Sisters will kick off a tour in support of the new CD making stops at a number of celebrated Texas venues, including historic Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas, and the Continental Club in Houston, TX. The band will also be appearing at a number of summer festivals and will performing an official showcase at SXSW Music Conference.
