The Puppini Sisters
Immaculate three-part harmonies that bridge the gap between 1940s swing and modern pop. High-energy, theatrical, and dripping with vintage glamour.

The Puppini Sisters sound like a technicolor dream of the 1940s, where every note is perfectly placed and every harmony is razor-sharp. Their music is a vibrant explosion of swing, jazz, and cabaret, characterized by 'close harmony' singing that feels both incredibly disciplined and joyously chaotic. It is the sound of a high-end cocktail lounge where the band is just a little bit louder and more daring than expected.
What sets them apart is their 'swing-punk' attitude. They don't just cover the classics; they reinvent them with a cheeky, modern sensibility that acknowledges the risqué undertones of vintage pop. Their vocal arrangements are famously tight, creating a wall of sound that is purely human-powered, backed by a rhythm section that keeps the energy driving and danceable.
Start with 'Betcha Bottom Dollar' to hear their definitive take on the Andrews Sisters' style, then move to 'The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo' for their brilliant swing transformations of contemporary hits. They are the essential soundtrack for anyone who wants the elegance of the past with the wink and nudge of the present.
The Puppini Sisters are an English close harmony vocal trio composed of Italian-born singer Marcella Puppini and English singers Kate Mullins and Rosanna Schura. Although the three are not related, the name was chosen in tribute to the Andrews Sisters. They are known for providing guest vocals on Michael Bublé's cover of "Jingle Bells". Puppini first studied fashion design at Saint Martins School of Art, and later music at Trinity College of Music in London, where she met Mullins and original member Rosanna Schura, who was later replaced by Stephanie O'Brien. After eight years with the group, O'Brien was replaced by Emma Smith. The trio are backed by a three-piece band featuring Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henrik Jensen on double bass and Peter Ibbetson on drums. The group is associated with a burlesque revival.
