Be Here Now - The Cherokee Maidens & Sycamore Swing - Tiny Desk Contest - Video
PUBLISHED: Jan 14, 2015
DESCRIPTION: In an unexpected corner of rural Kansas, a tribe of gypsy jazz and western swing aficionados recreate music from the past – with contemporary flair. Think Bob Wills meets the Andrews Sisters. The women share a Native American heritage and the band swings like Bing. Our tune celebrates a century-old arboretum, where the music originates, reminding us to turn off technology and be here now. Our little contribution to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest.
The Cherokee Maidens Robin Macy, Monica Taylor, and Jennifer Pettersen
