In folk and country music much attention is given to brother duets, like the Everlys and the Delmores, but less mention is made of sister sibling harmony. In counterpoint, this week on the Magazine we'll present Musical Sisters. We'll hear from Roni and Donna Stoneman, Lily May and Rosie Ledford, The Quebe Sisters, The Boswell Sisters, Shirley & Dolly Collins and many more. Sweet sisters singing … this week on The Sing Out!

This week we complete our two-week feature, Send the Singer Home, with instrumental selections from a variety of sources. I'm always searching for interesting instrumentalists for the theme music for each week's program – while some artists are all-instrumental, others tuck hidden gems away, one to a recording project. This time we'll hear the Acousticats, banjo master Bill Evans, Bruce Cockburn, Brass Lassie, Sharon Isbin-Amjad Ali Kahn, The Horseflies and more.
