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…”
