SXSW 2012

From Jim Caligiuri, The Austin Chronicle:

The Carper Family are three women whose songs and harmonies recall a simpler time. One of Austin's newest sensations on the traditional music scene, they just returned from Memphis, Tenn., where they lit up the Folk Alliance Convention. While not really a family, on 2011's Back When, they sound as authentic as the Carter Family or the Stanley Brothers, only with contemporary subject matter for women in the new century.
