About Me

Hello! I'm Donna! And my sisters, Rhonda and Janet and I are..."The Sisters of the Silver Sage"! We live in the Foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains...but our hearts are in the American West!! (And on the Texas Dance floor!!) We are happiest when playing and singing songs of the old West and Western Swing! When we croon "Cool Water" and "San Antonio Rose" or one of our own creations...our audiences are instantly soothed and smoothed by our 3 part family harmonies. I've been told that we sound like female Sons of the Pioneers with just a touch of The Andrew Sisters and The McGuire Sisters!! (What great company!!!) Rhonda sings a sparkling, true lead...and Janet sings high tenor while playing the electric bass guitar....I'm next with alto harmonies and some lead vocals...and I play the acoustic rhythm guitar! We're backed up by two dear friends, "Gentleman" Jon Scott and Charlie "Bob" Perkins whose considerable musical talents make up "The Sage Band"....Jon can play just about every instrument there is (and he DOES!!)...and Charlie can really "smoke" the strings on that fiddle..."Sweet Thing"! (Sometimes, he whispers to the fiddle..."Hear that, Smoky??!!) Our performances include stages throughout the Southeast as well as Las Vegas, Nevada and Branson, Missouri and our music is being played world-wide as well as in the U.S. and Canada! You can visit our website at www.sistersofthesilversage.com to sample our music, purchase our albums or visit our "Wildwood Ranch" and read about our latest "shenanigans"! And don't forget to sign our Guest Book before you leave! We love to hear from our friends and fans! You can also e-mail us at.....
