Radio Interview!!!
INTERVIEW WITH ACOUNTRY.COM CHECK IT OUT!
CMA FEST 2008! Jessa and Alicia
bein typical, goofy us.
we're very rarely serious! LOL
Influences
Patsy Cline, Brooks & Dunn, Janet Paschal, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Ashton Shepherd, Bonnie Rait, Trisha Yearwood, Wynonna Judd, Christina Aguilera, Beatles, Jody Mcbrayer, anyone and everyone who has ever been a part of our lives, and of course our Dad!
This past year has truly been a blessing for us! We've strived to perfect ourselves as artists, songwriters, and performers. We wrote/co-wrote originals with amazing, profound, established writers here in Nashville, and we are truly thankful for all our experiences already! We've also worked with one of the best vocal coaches/song writers in the country, and lately we've been shopping ourselves around to major/independent labels trying to find where we'll fit perfectly in this business! Things are finally on their way and we firmly believe this! It's all in God's timing! (we learned that one pretty quick!) We don't want to give away too much juicy information- but please come back and check often because we will be posting updates, pictures, and new songs asap!
Yes, we're a "sister act", but that's what we've been our whole lives! We've been performing since we could talk. We've been blessed to grow up in such a talented family. The ARTS are in our blood, and we CRAVE it every day. Without some form of ART in our lives, who knows where we would be. It's our passion, and no one can ever take that away from us no matter how hard they try. Music can reach out to so many souls, and that's why God has us where we are now. We want our music, lyrics, and image to reflect how we live our lives daily. We're real girls. We're not just who you see on myspace. We want all of you to know we want and will write/sing the songs that will help you get through a heartbreak, experiencing falling into a new love, holding on to something you shouldn't be, letting go, or just havin a darn good 'ol time! Music has got us through the most difficult times in our lives, and hopefully ours can do the same for you. That is the reason we sing!
If we look familiar that's probably because you have seen Jessa on season two of the hit TV show, "American Idol". Or you have seen Alicia as an opening act for various Christian artists. Also you might have seen both of us recently performing around our town of Nashville, TN, singing the National anthem/God Bless America at MLB games during '05, '06, and '07, or random TV appearances.
There are a lot of people dreaming in this city to do the exact same thing we live and breath everyday, MUSIC! We've learned what separates us from the rest. It takes a lot of heart, more than a handful of soul, and really pushing hard at every door until the right one opens. We're gonna make it!!! We're bringin the heat, and we're never-ever-ever givin' up until we get what we've been working for our whole lives! We have persistence, dedication, strength, fight, and most of all our faith. This industry might throw some curve balls here and there but it means nothing when you have the fight that we do. MUSIC IS OUR LIFE! You know, it's true. Some people are just destined...to do what they do best.
