Who are the T Sisters?
The T Sisters are an Oakland-based singing trio composed of Erika, Rachel and Chloe Tietjen. These three sisters produce authentic sibling harmony, an ethereal and enchanting sound thanks to their unique familial blend. The T Sisters sing and play original music in a style influenced by blues, folk, bluegrass, americana, gospel, country, rock and more. Their soulful a Capella numbers will leave you haunted, and their upbeat barroom melodies will inspire you to grab some whiskey and tap your boots.
The Band
The T Sisters are thrilled to be accompanied by three talented fellows. Ramsey Tietjen, their father and lifelong musical influence, adds complexity to the T Sisters’ songs with his guitar and piano skills, and he occasionally adds his voice to the family blend. Longtime friend and musical collaborator Isaac Puglia creates the strong rhythmic foundation with his djembe. Joshua Boronkay, the newest addition to the band, spices up and strengthens the low end with his creative additions on the standup bass. Ramsey, Isaac and Josh are all extremely talented musicians in their own right; each one writes and performs his own songs.
Chthonic Theater
Chthonic Theater (pronounced thon-ik) is an Oakland-based performing and visual arts collective. Founded by The T Sisters and Analisa Svehaug, our group is based out of the eclectic neighborhood of Jingletown in Oakland. We collaborate with and support local artists through regular variety shows, musical theater productions, parades and more. Our events and productions incorporate music, dance, theater, and written word, as well as visual transformation of space through costuming and set design.
