Jazz Studies at Saddleback College presents Typical Sisters on Monday, April 2, at 7:30 pm in the McKinney Theatre. Typical Sisters is not, as the name might suggest, a Twisted Sister cover band. In fact, the improvising trio of guitar, bass, and drums draws equally on influences from rock music, singer-songwriters, minimalism and a rich history of American improvisers. The band’s music has been described as “tonally and dynamically expeditious while texturally soft and inviting, a comfortable challenge that easily entices.” -Scottie McNiece, International Anthem
