These Austin-based “sisters” are Teal Collins and Barbara Nesbitt,
and they both sing and play great acoustic guitar on these gorgeous,
harmony-drenched country rockers. Great record, and highly recommended.
- GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE- Matt Blackett
"A double shot of Austin based roots-rock drenched in gutsy blues"
Rob Bleetstein - Americanaist At Large, Sirius XM Pearl Jam Radio
“The Whiskey Sisters leave blisters!
Hotter than 2 foxes fornicating in a forest fire!”
- Mojo Nixon Outlaw Country Sirius XM Radio
Dimples? Well, yeah. But the Whiskey Sisters new CD arrives with more than that - layers of soaring harmonies, plenty of attitude and a rocking good time. Country radio would be better off sounding more like Don't Trust My Heart, but there’s more than that, too.
I definitely raise a toast to the Whiskey Sisters! - Roger Allan Polson host of “Lonestar State of Mind” KGSR
These are The Whiskey Sisters, Barbara Nesbitt and Teal Collins. If you haven't heard about them yet, you will. Everywhere. Soon. The Whiskey Sisters will be joining the Austin Music Journal's free show line-up on March 15 at the Baker St. Pub. Come tell them how much you love their incredible new CD, due out February 19. AMJ got a sneak preview of it and it's wonderful.
- Deborah Orazi Austin Music Journal
Honestly? Listening to the CD was baptism by fire... just an incredible, incandescent experience. I've heard a lot of new talent over the years but I haven't heard anything this good in more than 20 years.

"this is no singing duo, but a rock band that can give you goosebumps."
Michael Corcoran - Austin American Statesman
“This is the eponymous, butt- kickin,' beer-and-a-shot debut from Marin-bred Teal Collins and Barbara Nesbitt”
- Paul Liberatore Marin Independent Journal
“No reason to mince words: In just a year's time from their formation, in my view The Whiskey Sisters have risen to become this city's hottest new roots music act.” - Rob Patterson Austin Post
“The Whiskey sisters are a drink ya gotta sample. Two of the best female voices in Austin come together to make music that makes ya drunk with musical pleasure. Their debut CD is smooth as good whiskey and a soulful rockin piece of Texas music. I love em!!”
- Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel
See the Whiskey Sisters
at these Summer Festivals!
JULY 4-7th
True to their name, these ladies belt shots of whiskey between sets as smoothly as they belt out their songs. Their love of performing in front of a live crowd is as infectious as their music, as evidenced by the standing room only crowds that have been filling The Continental Club every Thursday. Their next show will be this Thursday at 6:30 sharp. Be sure to catch them before they begin their nationwide tour in support of their CD. -Gina Sigillito Examiner.com
The self-titled disc finds the entire endeavor living up to Best New Band. Collins commanded such force in the Mother Truckers that The Whiskey Sisters sounds like a natural sonic extension as doubled exponentially by Nesbitt. That's especially true with the addition of Zee's slide guitar work on "Wait a Lifetime" and his rampage riffing on "The Whiskey Song." Among the album's dozen songs, "Home on the Highway" best embodies what the band can to do: hellacious vocal harmonies, Zee's strutting six-string, and Davis' piano plinking á la Leon Russell in all the right spots. It's Southern rock with a decidedly feminine twist, more Heart than Skynyrd, but no less stirring. - Jim Caligiuri
