The Red Shoes are the cello/fiddle duet of teen-aged sisters Lucia and Flavia Purpura-Pontoniere. Both girls began their musical training at age 6. After years of Classical training, they began to play jazz and fiddle music. Currently, they focus on arranging traditional fiddle tunes for their instruments.
They have performed at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse, the Berkeley Old-Time Music Festival, the San Francisco Farmer's Market, and KPFA. Born and raised in San Francisco, the girls moved to the East Bay three years ago, where they now live and play music in Hayward.
The Red Shoes open at 7 for indie folk duo Spark & Whisper -- one entrance fee covers both bands.
