The 70th Season of the Greater Alton Concert Association (GACA) continues on February 6th with Sister Swing, a fresh, exciting trio of singers which has captured the sound of the girl groups of the 1930s and 1940s, and brought it to the 21st century.
Heavily influenced by the 3 part harmonies of groups like the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters, Sister Swing brings a new sound to an old style. The three ladies, Leigh Hannah, Valerie Marston and Paula Chafey-Merrill, genuinely have a good time on stage and that transcends to their audience. An evening with Sister Swing will take you back in time to an era of glamour, romance and innocence. If you like to hear music from the 30s and 40s pure Andrews Sisters style including period dresses and hairstyles, don't miss Sister Swing.
