The Parkington Sisters are a great story. The group are all the biological children of musical parents and each of the sisters is a remarkable talent in and of themselves. But as a group they are a breathtaking display of vocal and instrumental proficiency. Last week at Joe’s Pub, we experienced the live Parkington Sisters and the show was simply mesmerizing. While sister Rose is the most frequent lead singer, along with playing piano and guitar, it would be a mistake to focus solely on her talents. Ariel and Sarah play viola and violin and produce stunning harmonies. And Nora provides much of the percussion, additional harmonies, and is the unofficial band onstage spokesperson. The Sisters’ set was a nice mix of their recorded material and some neat covers, and included much of their brand new EP Inside My Head (title track streaming below). The personal highlight of the evening was a song that I believe is an unreleased original track called “Fall To My Knees”, which begins with Rose solo at the piano but develops into a full-on sister harmony number of depth and poignancy. We hope to hear more of this song on the band’s next release. It has the potential to deliver the huge fan base that the Parkington Sisters deserve. We are streaming it below.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cardioids mounted adjacent to a floor beam about twenty feet from the stage and mixed it with a mono board feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!
