AMP is excited to have our first show at a new space that has been opened by our friends at Fusion Theatre Company. It's part of the new Fusion Forum space, that will contain several theater spaces, a coffee shop/restaurant, and office spaces. Fusion Forum promises to be an exciting new arts destination on the edge of downtown Albuquerque!  This is a general admission seated show.  There will be coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks available for purchase.

With over fifteen years of touring to date, The Quebe Sisters have delivered their authentic triple fiddle and three-part harmony sound to the concert halls and festivals of North America, Europe, and Russia.

Grace, Sophia, and Hulda Quebe front an innovative Progressive Western Swing band of archtop guitar, upright bass, fiddles and sibling harmony. The Dallas-based five-piece presents a unique Americana blend of Western Swing, Jazz-influenced Swing, Country, Texas-Style Fiddling, and Western music.

"We differentiate our music as 'Progressive Western Swing' from simply 'Western Swing' because we aren't trying to sound just like Bob Wills," Grace Quebe explains. "Instead, we continue his vision, playing the style he pioneered in an authentic way by incorporating new genres and songs, interpreting them using our own unique voice through Country instrumentation."

The band's stripped-down acoustic instrumentation breathes new life into seasoned sounds once found in Texas dance halls and honky-tonks. Grace continues, "To us, preserving the tradition of Western Swing isn't about keeping something alive like a relic. Western Swing has always been about innovation."

Innovation has led the sisters to channel the musical connection between danceability and emotiveness, combining old sounds with new feelings and old feelings with new sounds. It's not nostalgia that drives the band as purveyors of Western Swing, but the aspiration to take the music back to its roots and sustain the spirit of Swing.
