The Stairwell Sisters

San Francisco’s all-gal old-time teardown, The Stairwell Sisters  play a deep and rowdy repertoire of timeless tunes plus a solid standing of smart, original material that is winning praise on a national level. The Stairwell Sisters lay down concerts and square dances for counter-culture everywhere, infusing the old music with intoxicating energy and soul. The stairwell has never sounded better.

The Stairwell Sisters formed in a quick minute, in a flat overlooking the hills of San Francisco in the year 2000. Long-time music companions Lisa Berman and Sue Sandlin developed their signature harmonies in the stairwell of their workplace in that city, and the others fell right in.

The band recorded their debut CD, The Stairwell Sisters, in 2003. Their second CD, Feet All Over the Floor was recorded by Jim Nunally in 2005. Get Off Your Money (2008) is their third release, produced by Lloyd Maines. All three releases are on Yodel-Ay-Hee records, a loose association of old-time musicians, 'run' by John Herrmann.
