Texas has long been known as the fiddling capitol of the United States, and the Quebe Sisters, (GRACE - 17, SOPHIA - 16, & HULDA - 13) are doing their part to keep that rich tradition alive. Featuring a who's who of Texas' finest musicians ----- JOEY MCKENZIE, MARK ABBOTT, TOM MORRELL, GARY CARPENTER and NATHAN COATES ------ this debut CD is a mixture of Western Swing (a la Bob Wills and Spade Cooley), Cowboy Songs, Vintage Country & Traditional Texas Fiddle Tunes. In their short fiddling career, The Quebe Sisters have already accumulated an astonishing list of accomplishments including 2 National Fiddle Championships, 5 Texas State Fiddle Championships, and a whole hat full of 1st place awards in Fiddle Contests across Texas. " I think they're some of the most talented young people I've ever heard. Their tone is so true --- they play so well together, it's almost like they're singing. People just stand around in awe when they play." RED STEAGALL - quote from recent feature article in Ft. Worth Star Telegram Recently, Ricky Skaggs heard them play live backstage at his Ft. Worth Bass Hall performance and invited Joey and the girls to play onstage that night during his show. They played the old Western Swing standard San Antonio Rose. "I really thought they were great - I thought they'd just be nice little girls who played the fiddle. But they were great, and they're well-grounded and wonderful people and grateful for the gift they have. I want to help them get on the Grand Ole Opry - we're looking to do that in the next three to six months." RICKY SKAGGS It is certainly rare in this day and age to see such young people embrace Western Swing and Vintage Country Music, Texas Breakdown Fiddling, ect. and play them at the very highest level. Their combination of championship fiddling, refreshing repertoire, and honest Texas charm, make TEXAS FIDDLERS a mighty memorable listen!! Track List: 1. San Antonio Rose 2. Grey Eagle 3.
