Concert by the all-female cover band Sister Golden Hair, specialising in 1960s and 1970s harmony-rich hits.
Sister Golden Hair play The Saxon Pub on Tuesday, July 28. They're an all-female-fronted cover band based in Central Texas, and their set focuses on harmony-rich hits from the 1960s and 1970s. The three front women—Barbara Nesbitt, Wendy Colonna, and Emily Shirley—rework classic soundtrack favorites with a focus on vocal harmony and songwriting-inspired arrangements. They also go by SGH The Band.
If you're familiar with the era, you've got a good idea of the territory they cover. The 60s and 70s were the decades of the great vocal groups and the singer-songwriter boom, and that's exactly where they sit. The focus on harmony means they aren't just running through the songs as you remember them from the radio; they're rebuilding them around the voices, which is where the real work happens on a night like this. The soundtrack angle adds another layer, too, since so many of those hits lived in the movies of the time.
