The Debutante Hour keeps its musical roots in American country, blues and vaudeville while letting their lyrics run the gamut from absurd to sublime. Susan Hwang and Maria Sonevytsky switch fluidly between accordion/keys and hobo drum kit while Mia Pixley holds it down on the cello as the unconventional power trio harmonizes about planning, worldviews and works of literature, with the occasional swerve into a Carpathian mountain stomp.

In addition to playing their favorite NYC venues, they toured Far East Asia (South Korea, Japan) and Europe (Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Italy, UK).  They are known internationally for charming the hell out of you. They’ll sing and play until you’re completely hell-free.

Radio exposure includes a live performance on WFMU radio with Julian Kytasty and the Experimental Bandura Trio as well as a radio interview and performance on Diradio in Padova.

Some of the great musicians they’ve had the pleasure of sharing the bill with are Deborah Harry, Shonen Knife, Nellie McKay, Corn Mo, Justin Bond, Murray Hill, Franz Nicolay, Amy Kohn, Emilyn Brodsky, Natti Vogel, Ching Chong Song, The Wowz, Phoebe Kreutz and Kevin Blechdom.
