The Polka Dots
Their first album, Knee-Deep, traverses a broad spectrum of forms, from traditional string band tunes (Old Joe Clark), to gypsy swing (Limehouse Blues), dance numbers from the 1920s (Sister Kate), gospel standards (Gospel Plow), and the blues.
The girls' original music is a fresh blend of these many influences.
These young musicians love to play and reinterpret old music for modern ears. From old-time tunes, gypsy swing numbers, blues and gospel standards, to their own original songs, the Dots make music that is fresh and always fun. Contact Us

Singers and musicians from a young age, sisters Aislin and Nora Kavaldjian became the Polka Dots at ages 15 and 13.
After a year learning mandolin and fiddle from 
They have played at venues large and small from folk festivals to farmers' markets.
The Dots have particular affection for the story-song, evident on The Finned Witch; Daisy is a plaintive and tuneful lament for a lost love; while Valentines Blues is a wry commentary on dating; and Old Fat Cat is a unique (and funny) allegory about cats (and people).
All the selections on the album transmit the Dots' infectious love for music of all types, and their palpable musical energy.
