Sometimes a group of musicians sit down together to jam, and magic happens.

For Sister Sadie, the groundbreaking, all-female bluegrass band, that happened during a one-off jam session at Nashville’s legendary Station Inn. Their chemistry transformed a casual collaboration into a full-time powerhouse. Today, Sister Sadie is known for electrifying performances, stellar musicianship, and the seamless blend of tradition and innovation they bring to bluegrass music. Sister Sadie has released three critically acclaimed albums: their debut album, 2016’s Sister Sadie, introduced them to the world; their sophomore release, Sister Sadie II, in 2018, solidified their reputation as one of the leading acts in bluegrass. That album earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Bluegrass Album.” The group’s third album, No Fear, in 2024, was a triumphant return to recording. From “Diane,” a spirited cover debuted at the IBMA awards in 2023 to the chart-topping “Willow,” the album showcases the artistry and fearless spirit that makes the band a leading voice in bluegrass. It also earned them their second Grammy nod.

Whether it’s »Millionär«, »Mann im Mond«, »Küssen verboten« or »(Du musst) ein Schwein sein« – their songs have long since become part of the DNA of German-language music. In 2026, they are presenting themselves live to their fans with a very special production to mark the band’s 35th anniversary and are touring Germany with »Symphonica«: a best-of their songs, in new arrangements for symphony orchestra.

Founding member and musical director, bassist Sébastien Lamothe, advertised in local newspapers for musicians who were Genesis fans to play in the band. The group performs replicating members and sounds of Genesis and incorporates visual effects and costumes that were a part of the band’s original shows.

... are names we usually associate with Danish pop successes such as Halberg Larsen, News, Ray-Dee-Ohh, Lis Sørensen, Rasmus Seebach, the X-Factor band...

However, the three experienced and creative musicians have a trio where they pay tribute to some of their own sources of inspiration from one of rock's most creative and turbulent periods - the late 60s. In those years, the inspiration and the groundwork were created for much of the rock and pop we listen to today. With names like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Doors, The Beatles, Blind Faith, etc., many of the best songs from that period stand as milestones in rock history to this day. Just think of tracks like "Voodoo Child", "Sunshine of You Love", "Crossroads" and "Little Wing".
