Sometymes Why is a mesmerizing trio of modern-day sirens. Their vocal intensity, sparse arrangements, and passionate lyricism whirl into the air and cut a cyclone's path through the heart. Aoife, Ruth and Kristin have honed their recipe for ruthless tenderness with utter disregard for conformity or convention. Their songs tell the secret tales of our own lives and beg us to believe in the power of revelation.

"At Merlefest, it's often the small sidelights that end up stealing the show – such as when O'Donovan, Andreassen and Ungar teamed up for an unscheduled Sometymes Why set last year in a parking lot on a sunny Sunday afternoon – 'my favorite part of the whole weekend,' O'Donovan marveled in retrospect. There's an instantly appealing quality to the trio-harmony blend of their voices, and in live performance they relate to each other with a charm and ease that radiates to the audience."
- Peter Blackstock, No Depression (March-April 2008)
"...a sweetly artful new combo that sings about getting laid on tour and shit like that. "
- Time Out New York (May 2008)
