Band bio

The Alaskan Sunnyside Sisters are a bluegrass band made up of four sisters, originally from Alaska and now based in Florida. With a sound rooted in both traditional and gospel bluegrass, they bring heart, harmony, and family spirit to every performance.


 

Their musical journey began with classical piano lessons around age five, but everything changed during the pandemic. A visit to Florida introduced them to the world of bluegrass—and a whole new passion was born. Inspired by the musicians they met, they picked up instruments one by one: guitar, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass. They started learning by ear, then began formal bluegrass lessons with talented teachers online.


 

Since then, they’ve shared the stage with legendary acts like The Little Roy and Lizzy Show, Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys, Deeper Shade of Blue, Larry Efaw & The Bluegrass Mountaineers, and Retro 78. They also competed in the OMMA Youth in Bluegrass Competition, proudly earning 5th place.


 

In April 2025, they recorded their debut album—set to release soon! Between shows and festivals, the sisters continue making music videos and spending summers back in Alaska, playing for old friends and sharing their love of music wherever they go
