Rock powerhouse Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds appear Sept. 13 in South Lake Tahoe

Nine-piece Brooklyn, New York-based rock, soul, rhythm and blues powerhouse Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds will play in South Lake Tahoe on Thursday, September 13, 10 p.m. at Whiskey Dicks. The band's current tour follows blistering sets at Bonnaroo, Telluride Jazz Celebration, CBGB Festival, and Summer Camp music festival with an upcoming performance at Voodoo Music Experience. In late September, the band will join Allen Stone for a supporting extensive U.S. tour, including a stop at Austin City Limits (after party).

Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds are currently touring throughout in support of their latest album Pound Of Dirt, released February 28 on Modern Vintage Recordings. Pound Of Dirt garnered positive reaction from a wide range of press, including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Glamour, The Washington Post, AOL Music, Chicago Sun-Times, among many others.

Here is what some had to say:

“...stick-to-your-ribs style rock...” – The Wall Street Journal

“They may be from Brooklyn, but the fiery brass-and gospel-infused funk emanating from Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds is rooted in Memphis soul. Their rhythmic wheelhouse combines big-city grit and down-home
sweetness…” – Los Angeles Times

“Band On The Verge... the nine-person, horn-driven band prove that they can swagger as well as skank—and get bluesy and torchy when they need to.” – Relix

“...rollicking blend of soul, funk and backwoods Americana rock ’n’ roll, which draws even indifferent hipsters onto the dance floor.” – New York Daily News

“…a seriously funky collective capable of bringing elements of deep soul, New Orleans funk, Stax/Memphis stylings and earthy R&B together in a manner that makes the sentient mammal want to shake it…” – The Buffalo News
