In the mid forties the Sisters put their act on radio on Station KSWM in Joplin, Missouri. The Hammer Sisters both married in the early fifties and stopped playing music while they raised their families. Ruth and Lillian deliver music true to their Ozark heritage. Simple and direct. Ruth is versatile on the fiddle, playing several different styles, and also sings harmony on their duets.
Lillian plays guitar, is the lead singer, and also yodels in the Swiss, western, and blues style.
We love to sing and play our music for everyone, and hope that wherever we play, we will play and sing something you like, something that will touch your heart or stir some memories.
