Stiletto
Sisters
Luscious, exciting and virtuosic gypsy melodies, seductive tango rhythms and sensuous songs from Europe and Latin America - music to swoon by. Stiletto Sisters is a dynamic trio featuring gorgeous 3-part harmonies with Hope Csutoros on violin, Judy Gunson on piano accordion and Jo To on double bass.
The band plays regularly in Melbourne and can be seen every Wednesday night in Chapel St, Windsor, at the delicious Borsch, Vodka & Tears as well as Sundays at the Palace Hotel in City Road, Port Melbourne. Up to date information on their concerts is available on their website: www.stilettosisters.com.
