Hailing from Brooklyn, the DeLorean Sisters are a band with a unique twist on music nostalgia. Their journey began by transforming iconic '80s synth-pop hits with innovative alt-country and Americana arrangements that feature beautiful three-part harmony backed with traditional roots instrumentation. The DeLorean Sisters invite you to rediscover songs by David Bowie, The Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Danzig, & other familiar classics in a whole new light.

Emerging from the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2011, the original Sisters (including Brian Braiker on banjo) got together strictly for giggles. The initial impulse was to play covers of old-timey classics by the Carter Family, Hank Williams, Dock Boggs, and others. But then Clive made a startling (some may say dangerous) discovery: the songs we were raised on- those coked-out, cheesy, feather-haired tunes of the '80s- are country songs in disguise! The pathos of "Here Comes the Rain," the exuberance of "Modern Love," the absurd weirdness of "Girlfriend in a Coma": it's all in there, dying for three-part harmonies and, let's face it, a banjo. 

The music struck a twangy chord, and The DeLorean Sisters began to gather momentum by playing friends' bars and neighborhood dives around Brooklyn and Manhattan. Before long, they were playing to larger audiences at outdoor festivals, iconic venues like The Cutting Room and Daryl's House, and on Summer Stage in NYC's Central Park for NPR's radio show Ask Me Another. 

In the Spring of 2015, Grammy Award-nominated songwriter and producer Felix McTeigue encouraged The DeLorean Sisters to enter the studio. What resulted from these sessions was The DeLorean Sisters' self-titled debut album, produced by McTeigue and engineered by Drew Guido. The 12-song release was named one of the top cover albums of 2015 by Cover Me.

As their shows continued to fill more prominent and larger venues, The DeLorean Sisters began adding original songs to their high-energy sets. With a critical mass of new material, they returned to the studio to record the six-song EP Somethin' In The Water, again produced by Felix McTeigue and engineered by Drew Guido. The sold-out (and then some) record release party at Brooklyn's iconic Way Station left no doubt that The DeLorean Sisters' legendary sound has transcended mere '80s nostalgia.
