Here we are in a different configuration. Since this is the meet Sister page, we are going to give you a bit of “Sistory” (that’s history, sister style). So, our story is this: We grew up in Southern Minnesota on a small farm near a small town called Hanska. We grew up singing. We didn’t even know not singing was an option. As the story goes, Alisa (far right in the photo above - not intended as a political statement) was singing before she could talk. Our mother Randvig (Run - vig) (it’s Icelandic) being of a musical persuasion herself, recognized our natural abilities and began to cultivate our talents by teaching us a large, albeit simple, repertoire which opened the door to performances not only for family members but also church and community events. With both our parents supporting us, we soon became musical mascots for our little community. 

When we got older, we decided to take the ball and run with it. We sang as a trio all through those stormy high school and college years. We even sang through our weddings, various moves to different communities, and right on into those amazing having-children years. We never didn't sing. We worked out lots of stuff along the way and amazingly, we kept singing.  And that’s why you see us smiling in this picture. We’ve gotten a little more fancy because now we sing our own music, but sometimes for fun we break into the songs that take us back to the little farm just outside the little town in Southern Minnesota. That’s our story, in a nutshell.

is Sister’s “manager” and therefore the person to talk to about Sister stuff! She links the group to the world and keeps the sisters in the right place at the right time. She also manages her household which includes three beautiful kids Matt, Josh, and Sarah and one awesome husband Mark!

Kara is Sister’s writer and resident poet. She interprets life “Sister Style” keeping the group aligned with their foundational message of freedom and empowerment through the creative word and music. She also keeps her household in alignment and, along with her awesome husband Jon, raises two little poets, John and Anna..

Alisa is Sister’s arranger and musical interpreter. With her gift for hearing things ( in a good way ), she keeps the group producing the sound that sets them a part in a world of trios.  She then communicates that sound to a pool of talented musicians that have become a part of the Sister circle. She also arranges her household which consists of her awesome husband Tom and three little angels, Isaac, Caleb, and Rachel.
