“We couldn’t have picked a better weekend for the release of our second record – Sister Sadie II – on Pinecastle Records. It worked out that we were playing the Delaware Valley and the Thomas Point Beach festivals which are both awesome places that we love,” said Tina Adair of Sister Sadie. “We had a blast celebrating our new release with all the folks at both places. And wow… what a nice surprise to get the wonderful news today that we’ve debuted at #2 on the BILLBOARD Bluegrass Albums Chart for the week – we are beyond grateful for everyone that has helped us reach this spot by purchasing our new music.”
