New Single from SistaStrings debut EP, "Lift", coming out July 12th!!

Milwaukee-based SistaStrings (violinist Chauntee Ross and cellist Monique Ross) have astonished audiences with their virtuosity and eclectic range.  Audience demand for a SistaStrings’ recording is being met at long last with the release of “Lift” on July 12.

The hallmark of the SistaStrings’ sound is their dizzying range of influences.  Classical music has pride of place, but jazz, R&B, gospel, and pop are of equal significance, fusing into a singular vision and expression.

The 5 track EP covers all the bases audiences anticipate from a SistaString’s show.  Two original songs (“Shea Butter Dreams” and “Her Name Was”) are paired with a radical re-imagining of a classic cadenza (Cadenza For Chauntee) and stirring performances of gospel classics (“Deep River” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing”).
