"96 Hours in SF Chronicle"

"The meat and potatoes of the Whoreshoes'musical mission is first and foremost to have a good time. Second, it's to deal sternly with anyone who dares call them contemporary country."



- Delfin Vigil


"Whoreshoes, "Get Lucky" CD review"

"The group deal in good-time music that comes with a wink and a knowing grin, and their repertoire takes in old-timey country, honky-tonk and a dash of bluegrass. …the consistent vibe is that of a high-spirited boozy singalong."


- Maverick Magazine, UK


"Whoreshoes at Amnesia Bar"

"…the 'shoes habitually hit the stage with banjos blazing and not an ounce of pretension in sight. It's the music that matters, and high-quality multi-instrumentalism is common at these 'hos shows. Beehive hairdo? Check. Washboard? Check. What more do you need?"




- SF Weekly


"Whoreshoes',"

"A truer Americana-folk sound would be hard to find. You can practically smell the washtub and taste the corncob pipe. Every song is a toe-tapper; every one makes you long for simpler days, a hound dog, a porch rocker and a fat jug of moonshine to blow along."

- Alameda Music Scene


"Whoreshoes, "Get Lucky", CD review"

"This all-female quintet from San Francisco has a lot more than a marvelously clever band name going for them. As their second record, Get Lucky, proves, The Whoreshoes represent a kind of real country music for the 21st century, traditional in sound while novel in concept. These five women play fourteen instruments in numerous country styles with one mission — to twang you hard and well."

Bio

This energetic female quintet has rocked bars, festivals, and barbeques from Europe to California, wowing audiences with their lively stage shows and original tunes. The Whoreshoes scorn "contemporary country" and celebrate the roots of country music with their dynamic original songs. Embraced in Europe, their new album of "whiskey-soaked sass-grass" (SPIN Magazine) is getting rave reviews on country music websites and radio stations throughout Belgium, Holland, the Netherlands, and much of North America.

In just over two years, The Whoreshoes have covered substantial territory. Highlights include: performing at the famed 2007 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the Great American Music Hall, climbing the peaks of the Sierras to the Sugarbowl Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, traveling to the balmy beach bars of Southern California and touring Belgium and Holland in 2006; along the way, sharing stages with the popular Old Crow Medicine Show and the legendary Wanda Jackson. But it is their tireless tours of local bars, barbeques and farmers markets that helped shape their impressive CD, entitled "Get Lucky".

These hard-working women know how to make a big time, anywhere and everywhere. Camilla, Joni, Lala, Emily and Diana come from varied backgrounds of music, but their mutual love for the time-honored songs of American old-time music and early honky-tonk country brings them together. Multi-instrumentalism is a trademark of the band: banjo, fiddle, guitar, lap steel, mandolin, ukulele, honky-tonk piano, upright bass, accordion, washboard and spoons are all featured in their music. Added with their sweet harmonies, and infectious original tunes, The Whoreshoes evoke the best of a bygone era and bring that boot stomping, hollering spirit direct to you!
