Bluegrass Bash for the Summer Solstice!
Sister harmony and lightning fast pickin' typlifies what you will here from these dynamic young bluegrass stars-in-the-making from Illinois and Colorado.
"They are all roughly the age that Billy Strings, The Accidentals, Viv & Riley and Emily Keener were when they first played at Riverdog...get what I am sayin'?" -Terry
The Sullivan Sisters have dazzled audiences since childhood with their unique blend of sister harmonies and fast bluegrass picking. Born and raised in North Carolina, Soraya and Luciya Sullivan developed their love for American Folk and Bluegrass music at a young age, when they began guitar and banjo lessons at ages eight and six. The Sullivan Sisters have been prizewinners in the Rockygrass instrumental competitions, at the Galax Old Fiddlers’ Convention and at the Mount Airy Bluegrass and Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention. Since relocating to the Chicago area, they have been featured at IBMA’s Bluegrass Live! Festival, on the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, Evanston SPACE, Square Roots festival, the Chicago Bluegrass Legends concert series, the Banjo After Dark series and the Old Town School of Folk Music.

The Cody Sisters Band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic music in Colorado, the United States and UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with their bass player Will Pavilonis, Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today. Their sound is original, exhilarating, and heartwarming all at the same time. With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music, they continue to stun their audiences both in the US and abroad.
