The Sweetback Sisters

There aren’t any blood relatives in the band The Sweetback Sisters. But lead singers Zara Bode and Emily Miller sing in such tight harmony that you might think they’ve been harmonizing since childhood. The Brooklyn-based band’s second album, “Looking for a Fight,” was recorded on analog tape and combines a throwback sound with an urban sophistication. The band joins us to perform in the studio.

The Sweetback Sisters' lead vocalists Emily Miller and Zara Bode joined us in the studio along with their band to play and talk about everything from cover tunes to "Country-politan" cocktails. The group was so eager to share their throwback Western-swing sound with us that they even performed an extra tune after we were off the air. Take a listen to "Cowboy Ham and Eggs," off of their newest album, "Looking for a Fight."
