DESCRIPTION:
The Stairwell Sisters performing live in Dallas Texas 2006.

The Stairwell Sisters. Evie, Stephanie Prausnitz. Lisa Berman, Martha Hawthorne, and Sue Sandlin are career women, organizers, activists and mamas; making ends meet working and living in San Francisco. They also happen to crank out acoustic, old-time music with a punk-rock intensity. Somehow, between raising children, working and releasing records, they've taken their band to some rather well-regarded places -- appearing on A Prairie Home Companion, festival stages from Lincoln Center
(NYC) and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (SF) to Celtic Connections (UK), and many points in between.

The Stairwell Sisters come from varied musical backgrounds, some from acoustic traditions, others through amped-up rock and roll. Sue Sandlin says hearing Flatt and Scruggs brought her back to the country music her family loved, "It was akin to the hair raising excitement I felt the first time I heard The Clash as a teenager." The Sisters are all about bringing that excitement to the stage. Lauded for infectious shows that combine buckdancing with balladry and sass, these women unfailingly play their instruments hell-bent to drive the music.
