The Sidleys
Having long established themselves as top-tier performers in the Washington DC area, the husband and wife songwriting team of Annie and Steve Sidley create their finest music yet as indie rock and soul group, The Sidleys. Influenced by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles, and powered by Annie's soulful voice, The Sidleys write songs that are memorable and modern, yet instantly classic. A family-based collective, they are frequently joined on both stage and record by their sons, Sean, Colin and Ian, three uniquely talented musicians in their own right. The Sidleys have released three critically acclaimed albums, "Bittersweet" in 2013, followed by "The Love You Make" in 2017, “Breathless" in 2020, and their newest release “Sugar Kingdom” was released on May 10, 2024. As a band, they have performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the mid-Atlantic region including The Warner Theatre, The Fillmore, The Hamilton Live, The Barns at Wolf Trap, The Ritz Amphitheater in Georgia, and The Bethesda Theater as well as large festivals and outdoor concert series up and down the East coast. Annie and Steve explain, “we’re songwriters first and foremost, so we have a respect for all the great songs. Having had so many influences and experiences, and also having been trained in so many areas, it’s like our brains are always on shuffle. And like a lot of people, we listen to music in an eclectic and wide variety of genres. So we write interesting music for interesting people. Always remember that it’s ok to not be a one trick pony…be sure to get around to showing them every single one of your tricks…” 😘 Prior to forming The Sidleys, Steve and Annie Sidley had been performing as solo artists as well as backing up and producing an eclectic variety of musical acts:
