THE SOUL SISTERS
Sara Billdt taught herself to sing
listening to the old R&B and soul tunes
her father, a professional musician,
played for a living.
Billdt now fronts The Sara B3 and the
45rpm Live Soul Revue, a local act reviving
the work of artists like The Supremes and
The Ike & Tina Revue.
“For me, it’s about the nostalgia,”
she tells me over the phone. “I grew up
listening to this.”
The Sara B3 have recently caught the
attention of local audiences, but Billdt —
who has been playing music since she
was a child — says the band has existed
in one form or another for about 10 years.
“This time,” she says, “we’ve got such
a great band we’re going to keep it going.”
With three vocalists — Billdt, Cassie
Carter and Tahnee Hepner fronting a
10-piece band that’s an all-star lineup
CLUB
of Eugene musicians from Ferns, Psyrup
and Mood Area 52 — the Sara B3 capture
the near pandemonium of classic soul.
For The Sara B3, well-executed close
harmonies are not for the faint of heart,
and performance is paramount.
“We like to bring it visually,” Billdt
explains, hoping audiences will “lose
themselves in the music and live energy.”
The band learns the material “almost
completely by ear,” Billdt says. “It’s easy
and fun to learn these songs.”
But most of all, Billdt says, the
musicians’ backgrounds in rock ’n’ roll
(Billdt also plays in the heavy-hitting local
band Coyote) helps The Sara B3 connect
funk, soul and R&B to what might be
commonly considered harder stuff.
“We have a lot of drive and power
behind this music,” she adds.
The Sara B3 and the 45rpm Live Soul
Revue performs two sets starting 9 pm
Saturday, June 23, at Blairally Vintage
Arcade; $7, 21-plus. — Will Kennedy
