We just finished recording our first epic album with Ken Sease and Evan Phillps at Twisted Penguin! We had a blast making it and can't wait to share our music with the world. Stay tuned for our CD release this spring! This is all able to happen because of your continued support. Thanks everybody! Happy New Year! love, SSSS
"A high-end chef by trade, Anchorage's Carlyle Watt knows a thing or two about mixing ingredients for delicious results. Carlyle & the Sugar Strings are the perfect example: mouth-watering folk music spiced up with cello, fiddle, piano, foot-stomp and tambourine. Watt’s band, the Sugar Strings, comprises three sassy & sharp young ladies: Kathryn Moore (piano & percussion), Miriah Phelps (fiddle) and Theresa Taylor (cello). These remarkable instrumentalists elevate Watt’s classic country rasp to a thing of beauty. Our Alaskan neighbours always do it up right at DCMF - we look forward to having them at this year's Festival!"
