Sweet Bitters is a harmony-based acoustic duo serving up tasty, flavorful folk-pop. Or pop-folk. Whatever. Sweet Bitters was created by two Brooklyn-based singer-songwriters, Sharon and Nina, who started blending their voices and musical talents in 2007.
"When she’s at the top of her game, Sharon Goldman is one of the world’s foremost pop tunesmiths, alongside Aimee Mann and Elvis Costello. Nina Schmir first made a mark in the New York scene as one of the superb harmony singers in Aimee Van Dyne’s band. Since that group broke up, she’s been plying her solo work, acoustic songs imbued equally with devious wit and haunting intensity. The duo’s layers of harmonies on this album are often wrenchingly beautiful. Each songwriter contributes two songs to this effort."
--Alan Young, Lucid Culture
"They have a song called "Falling Into Place" that's about a late afternoon walk up Seventh Avenue in the winter. It's real pretty. One of the few songs I know about Seventh Avenue."

Hey, guys! I am so upset I missed your show at Googie's! Had every intention to go, and then life got super busy and the date slipped my mind til it was too late...please send a reminder next time, I'll be there for sure! Hope it was great...
Hey thanks so much for the comment! Sorry, I'm a little slow on the Myspace-response thing, but I hope that all the Sweet Bitter sounds are going great lately (I love the tracks on here, and I still remember your performance from Makor).
Thank You For You. Your Presence On My Page Is Greatly Appreciated. For Anyone To Lay It All On The Line And Expose Their Heart In Anyway Is What Stardom Is All About. Fortunately, MySpace Affords Us This Opportunity. For Me, Just Being Hear Is A Blessing. I’ve Got Friends All Over The World Now. Connecting With You Is One Of The Best Things That Could Ever Happen In My Life. Again, I Would Like To Thank You For Participating In A Great And Wondrous Time.
Your duo sounds great--I'll try to catch a show. Please keep in touch!
