Maureen Andary & Sara Curtin met in their DC church choir at the tender ages of 11 and 13, singing together every week until Maureen left for college in New York City and Sara made her way to Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Maureen, a songwriter and ukulele instructor back in Washington, was tapped as a finalist for the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest in July 2008. She wondered and wondered, "Who could possibly sing those high harmonies in my songs?" A lightbulb went off in her head when she remembered the long lost Sara Curtin, also a songwriter and ukulele player now living in Brooklyn, NY.
The two teamed up for the live competition in West virginia and the experience was righteously awesome and proved to Sara & Maureen that they belong on a musical path together. And thus was born The Sweater Set - a duo that will melt your heart.
