November 13, 2015The Irving Sisters put on a great show that is entertaining to the young and old alike. Those of advancing years will be brought right back home to the songs of their youth. But these songs are timeless and were appreciated just as much by the 20-somethings in the crowd. I could hardly keep still while listening to their uptempo tunes. They each shine with personality in their solo numbers, and then wow with the tight harmonies of the ensemble numbers. All in all, their show is thoroughly entertaining, puts a smile on ones face, and gives an itch to tap one's toes!

The Irving Sisters offer a variety of options to fit your event and budget. An intimate party? You may want to choose to just have the girls singing a capella. But maybe your guests will want to dance? Hire The Irving Sisters and have them bring their pianist or guitarist. Throwing a big party that needs the energy of a full band? The Irving Sisters will bring their three piece combo (guitarist = upright bass +clarinet).
The Irving Sisters work closely with clients to help fulfill the vision of their event.
With decades of performance experience between them, The Irving Sisters sing tight, three-part harmonies and tell stories that elicit memories of a unique era of American music.
For anything larger than a small cocktail party, The Irving Sisters highly recommend using amplification. For this, whether inside or outside, multiple outlets are required as well as a dedicated "stage area." (This does not need to be an actual stage, just a dedicated space for musician use.) The Irving Sisters come prepared with their own audio equipment.
