The Sweet Bitters Sing a Song About Seventh Avenue

Check out this Park Slope duo. Their song, “Falling Into Place,” is about a Tuesday afternoon walk up Seventh Avenue.

Sweet Bitters is a harmony-based acoustic duo serving up tasty, flavorful folk-pop. Or pop-folk. The group was created by two Brooklyn-based singer-songwriters, Sharon and Nina, who started blending their voices and said to themselves, This harmony thing is fun.

Sharon liked singing on Nina’s songs and Nina liked singing on Sharon’s songs. And they sounded sweet — but not too sweet. A little bit of bitter thrown in was just right.

They played this weekend at Perch. I wasn’t there but saw a mention of it on Google Park Slope Alerts. Their influences include, The Roches, Aimee Mann, The Indigo Girls, Elliott Smith, R.E.M., Girlyman, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, Squeeze, CC Railroad, Molly Pitcher, Aimee van Dyne Band, Allison Krauss, Eliza Gilkyson.
