When Ariel, Sarah, and Rose Parkington of the Parkington Sisters pick up their
instruments to strike up a song, the air begins to buzz. The chemistry between
the three sisters is so present you feel like you can touch it – and as soon as they
strike the first tone, it overwhelms the listener like a tidal wave crashing down.
Hailing from Wellfleet, Massachusetts, the Parkington Sisters cut their teeth on
music from the very beginning. Daughters of a prog rock musician and a
classically trained guitarist and songwriter, they were raised playing music on
picturesque Cape Cod. They rebelled against summer jobs cleaning rental
houses and performing in high-brow symphonies and instead became a band
performing on the streets of Provincetown, on the tip of the Cape. Over the past 5
years, they have shared the stage with artists ranging from Mavis Staples and
Bruce Springsteen to Dispatch and the Dropkick Murphys, performing in radio
studios and stages across the US, Canada and Europe, including New York’s
Radio City Music Hall and in March 2014 NPR’s Mountain Stage. The
Parkingtons also joined the Dropkick Murphy’s to perform the national anthem
before Game 6 of the 2013 World Series at Fenway Park, leading to the first
World Series home win for the Red Sox since 1918!
