The Pfister Sisters carry on the legacy of innovative vocal jazz harmonies introduced by New Orleeans’ own Boswell Sisters, and have become a deeply revered New Orleans tradition in and of themselves. Since 1979, the Pfister Sisters have been bringing traditional jazz from New Orleans to the world.  Holley Bendtsen, Yvette Voelker, Karen Stoehr, and pianist Amasa Miller have shared stages with everyone from Linda Rondstadt and Irma Thomas, to Maxine Andrews of the Andrews Sisters.         

The Pfister Sisters have toured the US and Europe, performing in venues as diverse as Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Ascona Jazz Festival and Angola State Penitentiary, as well as having played themselves in an episode of the HBO series “Treme.” They remain festival favorites – easy with Holley Bendtsen’s upbeat tune “Down at the Jazzfest” – and can be heard both locally and around the world.
