The Severin Sisters Concert March 16th at Stewart’s Hall. A KYAC concert. Tickets online at kyacfm.org. $20 in advance tickets at the door $25.

The Severin Sisters are an American roots band consisting of Amy Severin and Heidi Severin (born September 25, 1983), twin sisters from Salem, Oregon. Younger sister, Haley Severin, officially joined the band in 2017, after years of making special appearances. They have participated in musical festivals and competitions on the state and national levels, ranking highly in several.[citation needed] They have toured the Pacific Northwest since 2001,[1] including opening gigs for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.[2]
At the age of 14, Amy placed second in the Oregon State Banjo Championship.[citation needed] In 2002, she placed 10th in the National Banjo Competition held in Winfield, Kansas.[citation needed]
Heidi won second place at the National Mandolin Championship in 2002.[3]
In 2000, the duo recorded their first album, Too Many Miles. The following year they recorded Let's Talk. Their most recent album, released in 2003, is Carefree Times. Carefree Times was re-released with new graphics June 2007. They have collaborated with such musicians as John Carter Cash and John Cowan of New Grass Revival, and Nashville songwriters Dean Miller and Sarah Majors.
Each sister graduated from Oregon State University with a bachelor's degree in music. They both now teach music in the Salem-Keizer School District.

Bluegrass music on my mind this morning; it's also on KYAC & KMUZ radio. My vinyl pick is from 1972, "The Seldom Scene, Act I", plus featuring the classic cuts of the Stanley Brothers, as well as Jeff Scroggins and Colorado. It's our fall pledge drive and I'm asking you to tune, and pick up that phone and call us to help keep this great music on the air and online. 503-897-6397. You can listen on line by going to www.kyacfm.org or tune in at 94.9 in the Santiam Canyon, or 100.7 in the Willamette Valley.. Thanks for our support.
