Denton knows Drew Phelps mostly for his jazz stylings on the upright bass, but recently, the versatile musician has donated his sound to a Western swing outfit, the Quebe Sisters.

The band will perform at Town and Country Coffeehouse on Satur­day.

Phelps said he joined the group about a year ago, after their bass player left to play with the Sons of the Pioneers in Branson, Mo.

“They needed someone to play with them fast,” Phelps said. “My name came up. I went over there and played with them and had a blast.”

“Over there” refers to Fort Worth, where the sisters — Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe (pronounced “KWAY-bee”) — live and hone their skills on the violin.

Phelps said he’s been traveling with the band, which also in­cludes guitarist Joey Mc­Kenzie. In late June, the group played a festival in Nova Scotia. The band has a contract with the National Council for the Traditional Arts, which puts them in front of audiences of both the tourist and official sort.

“I’ve been doing these folk festivals, which is new to me, and it’s a real blast,” Phelps said. “Well, what these girls are doing is mainly playing Western swing. They needed someone with a jazz background. A lot of people don’t know this, but I played up on the Red River, playing country music for about three years. I played country music for a long time, and then I got to this point where I stopped.”

His time with the Quebes has reacquainted him with the country music he used to play.

“They are just so good I was like, ‘So what if it’s not jazz?’ I’ve been playing with them, and I’ve been trying to get local gigs,” Phelps said.

Next up for the group is a folk festival in Philadelphia. Phelps said he’s going to try to get the group in some Denton venues and is glad to join the act in Lake Dallas.

Town and Country Coffee­house is a nonsmoking, non-alcoholic venue that features acts for the whole family.
