When someone says ‘Iconic Australian singing sisters’, you’d think of Vika & Linda, but think again, and you might come up with The Veronicas, but after that, definitely in the top 10, Byll and Beth Stephen the sisters behind The Little Stevies (and more recently Teeny Tiny Stevies) would of course come to mind.
The Perennial favourites have been around.
They started their band back when they were teenagers, learning to play & write as they toured the country, selling ‘homemade’ CD’ for 5 bucks after gigs.
As they matured, so did their music, they were unearthed by Triple J, released a string of albums, recorded in Los Angeles, and toured all over Australia and North America.
Then, when having kids of their own required them to settle down, they created a children’s music offshoot. Their kids’ brand, Teeny Tiny Stevies, was born and quickly became a much-loved phenomenon thanks to their clever, funny writing of songs & books for the next generation.
But like an ever-returning bloom that will not die, the sisters are back again, as adults, playing their adult songs. Because they have been adulting for a long time now, despite their refusal to get a real job.
A Little Stevies live show is like being invited to a dear friend’s dinner party, warm and familiar, but there isn’t any food, just live music, so you should have eaten beforehand.
The evergreen ARIA winning performers have appeared everywhere, as far away as the Ottawa Folk Festival, as big as the The Opera House, and as small as the tiniest pub in Portland (Victoria), so you know you’re in for a captivating story and good hang.
If enduring the music industry was an Olympic sport, they may not win gold, but they’d be crowd favourites.
