About this concert
My Bubba w/ River SisterSunday, May 7Doors at 6 / Show at 7$15 / $13 for membersAll ages / Partially seatedSweden’s My Larsdotter and Iceland’s Bubba Tomasdottir are sisters linked not by blood but seemingly shared past lives. Together as My Bubba, the two create soulful folk music which is both sultry and refined.Having co-written numbers in the households of household names (Matthew E. White, Noah Georgeson), the duo have found a comfortable place at a table of kindred spirits. Sonically sparse, the songs these women weave are laced with dark humor and clever bite. Sunday morning with the creeping sense of Saturday night’s mistakes, black tea with a drop of honey. My Bubba’s sound ushers in the heaviness while leaving nothing but room to breathe. This is sensual, unhurried music, with changes that take their time to reveal themselves. Simultaneously strange and familiar, like milk from another planet.

River Sister Biography
An Indie-folk band featuring the vocal harmonies of Elissa Margolin and Stefanie Guzikowski with the rhythms of bassist Nate Therrien and drummer PJ Donahue.
"Vocal harmonies that’ll make you blush with a rhythm section that adds a moving, colorful crush,” commented EDGE magazine when listing River Sister in one of its best-of-the-year lists. Vocalists Stefanie Guzikowski and Elissa Margolin deliver a sultry, silky blend alongside the addictive grooves of bassist Nate Therrien and drummer PJ Donahue. Indeed, the regional press notes, “the combination of these pieces makes for a fresh, cathartic addition to the indie-folk cannon.”
Recently nominated for a Spotlight award for best folk group, River Sister has opened for national act and NPR tiny desk favorite, My Bubba, toured the Northeast and kicked off the National Concert to End Gun Violence. They can be found in their hometown of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and nearby venues in Boston and Portland delivering heart-filled, joyous and inspiring performances.
