Karen and Amy Jones are singers...sisters...and songwriters known for their melodic vocal lines and tight harmonies. Both classically-trained vocalists, they traded their opera arias for acoustic guitars and now perform together as an acoustic rock duo in the northeastern United States.

Two songwriters with very different styles, the girls treat audiences to a diverse collection of melodic and harmony-heavy songs ranging from hooky pop-rock to dark, dissonant ballads. Fans have drawn comparisons to Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart, The Indigo Girls, Liz Phair and fellow Pennsylvania rockers Live, but they have a sound all their own.

Karen and Amy couple accomplished voices with well-constructed melodies, soaring harmonies and passionate, personal lyrics. Listeners should expect a curvy ride through hopeful, catchy rants to sad, soulful lamentations, delivered by two sisters who commit to every note.

Our incredibly talented friend, Dave Doll, just released Lullabies and Nocturnes (Jan 2008), a collection of gorgeous, beautiful, stirring songs that you definitely will not want to sleep through. We do backing vocals on the track "Bittersweet Surrender." It's super-pretty. :-) Dave's got some of the songs posted on myspace.com/davedollmusic. If you'd like to purchase a copy, contact Dave. $10 for 13 tracks of the lighter side of Dave Doll. You will not be disappointed.

Hi Karen and Amy, How are you ladies :) Looks like you have a lot going on. I really want to join in on musicians on call. I think I will need to wait until I am done my student teaching. I will be an official art teacher by May (if all goes well that is) I hope we run into one another over the summer!
