"The Pfister Sisters are exactly what music
SHOULD be...they bring joy to your soul,
harmony to your ears, and the best and biggest
boogie-woogie to your feet. No part of you can
stand still when they start singing! Run, do not
walk, to hear them whenever you can! "May
2008- Amanda McBroom - composer of Bette
Midler’s hit song “The Rose”
Holley Bendtsen, Yvette Voelker, Debbie Davis and Amasa Miller comprise one of the few
groups that represent the New Orleans swing era, with their recreation of The Boswell Sisters
arrangements, and the only act featuring vocal jazz harmony. The Pfisters have sung with the
Neville Brothers at Angola State Prison, with Linda Rondstadt and Jimmy Buffet at the New
Orleans Artists Against Homelessness and Hunger concerts, with Vet Boswell of the Boswell
Sisters in New York and New Orleans and with Maxene Andrews of the Andrews sisters on the
wing of an airplane.
The Pfister Sisters have delighted
audiences with their sweet hot jazz
harmonies since 1979. They were singled
out in 1981 by Variety as one of the best
new acts of the New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival, and 20 years later, their
2001 Jazz Fest performance was
described in newspaper and online media
as "sublime" and "sparkling."
