Redolent of the yellow sunlight slanting through the windows at the end of the day, Sweet By and By plays the type of bluegrass parlor music that lulls the kids to naps with a warm embrace. Shortly thereafter, though, the group creeps into a dance hall and keeps the floorboards shaking through the night. Combining a certain wholesome sincerity with fast living, the four-femme group performs an alluring balancing act between "come hither" and "piss off." The band kicks off the Bynum Front Porch Friday Night Music Series with vocal harmonies, fiddle and hypnotic banjo-picking. Between those proverbial parlors and the dance halls.—Andrew Ritchey
Sweet By & By weaves captivating three-part vocal harmonies and traditional instrumentation into old-time bluegrass standards and contemporary originals. The result is a fresh take on the all-female string band that is both pure and simple in its approach and rich in its ultimate effect. Contact info: swtbyby@yahoo.com
