“There’s something to be said for the sheer beauty of the sibling harmonies from these five sisters who were raised on Cape Cod. Based in Wellfleet, the Parkington Sisters buoy their Americana with lovely baroque arrangements heavy on strings” Boston Globe

“The Parkington Sisters four-song eponymous EP (Self-Released) is like the best first date you’ve ever been on: transcendent, gooey, and short enough to leave you yearning for more. Aged 17-29, the five Parkington Sisters manage to channel Joni Mitchell, Shostakovich, and Thelonious Monk in such an understated manner as to make the uninitiated heart leap. Opening track “Let Go” manages to cover more emotional and harmonic territory in five minutes than the last two Iron and Wine albums combined. This collection may not be easy to find yet, but rest assured that these songs and more should be widely available and sooner than later. In the barren landscape of girl groups as forgettable as Twitter posts, the Parkington Sisters are the musical manifestation of Louisa May Alcott.”

“I did see the Parkington Sisters. Very unusual. Very, very unusual. Five sisters from around Cape Cod. Rose on guitar; sister Lydia plays a mean cello; and Ariel, Nora and Sarah add very classical violins to the mix. Beautiful, mesmerizing, crossing all boundaries. The sisters share lead vocals and add great, sometimes five-part harmonies.... Very special: lots of chemistry between the sisters; between genres; between band and audience; between the eye and the ear. Very special indeed: Hallelujah! I’m looking forward to hear their album…The Parkington Sisters, cool and original, a future super act who you will be seeing everywhere, sometime soon…”
