The Biography
87-year old Dorothy Robinson once commented, "Keep up the weird, I think it's your forte." This is the best description of Nashville's interstellar wizards of groove, The Weird Sisters. Comprising the enigmatic duo of Gabrielle Lewis and Izaac Short, The Weird Sisters carve a celestial path through the cosmos of sound. A path that denies convention or explanation leaving one with no choice but to move and groove to these Dance Commanders.
While their studio recordings are cosmic symphonies in their own right, The Weird Sisters' sonic journey truly comes alive on stage. Best known for their captivating live performances, the duo's shows are a blend of space disco and funky grunge-punk that ignites the dance floor.
2023 marks quite a year for The Weird Sisters. In addition to touring the Northeast and Midwest, they headlined Tomato Art Fest in East Nashville, opened for Nappy Roots at Local Licks Fest in Paducah, KY and burned it down at Muddy Roots Festival in Cookeville, TN.
In their newest music video release Waiting So Long, The Weird Sisters chronicle a recent road trip from Dallas to Nashville. All captured on stunning VHS. Their next record, Who Are The Weird Sisters? will be available everywhere February 3rd 2024.
Gabrielle and Izaac's musical partnership is a testament to the magic of opposites attracting, breaking it down to the very essence: the sum always being greater than its parts. They have a musical synergy that denies convention, and you can dance to it.

"There’s a mischievous sensibility underlying their work that echoes Frank Zappa and Prince, as well as some outstanding synthesizer work that brings to mind legends like Bernie Worrell and Don Preston"
-The Nashville Scene
Gabrielle Lewis’ hands seeming to keep a Fender Rhodes electric piano oscillating with a synth horn section Moog’ing on the other. Izaac Short’s funky electric rhythm strokes and star-gazing, party lyricism mold a track worthy of soundtracking a Steven Soderbergh or Guy Ritchie bank heist montage.
