Charley and Hattie grew up in Kent, England in a large family consisting of a banjo player, a comedian, a hairdresser, four drummers, a cake specialist at Fortnum and Mason, a concert pianist, and a tennis coach. Their childhood of family wagon driving holidays had bohemian soundtracks and unusual destinations. This was peppered with jamming in family bands and late car rides into London nightlife to collect their Dad and band mates from club circuit gigs.
The sisters began writing and playing music at an early age, learning instruments and singing in bands together. Charley took to the guitar, piano, sax, clarinet and drums and Hattie, the harp and piano.
They recorded an album of their songs in Nashville Tennessee, 'Piece of Mind', and travelled between to LA and London playing at gigs and parties, with Charley's guitar and Hattie's 22 string lap harp.
The girls signed a Publishing Deal with Windswept Pacific Publishing and then a record deal with Universal Records in the sunshine of Los Angeles, California. Heading back to London to make their second album, 'Daylight Crossing' they recorded with legendary musicians Steve Gadd and Pino Palladino at London's Abbey Road and Sarm Hook End Studios.
In 2007, the girls, as independent artists, are flying solo.
The Webb Sisters and their band were chosen to represent the United Kingdom at America's 400th Anniversary in May 2007, performing alongside Chaka Khan and Bruce Hornsby.
Charley and Hattie have recorded a pro-peace song, ‘Fortune of Soldiers’, for a Judy Collins tribute record alongside Dolly Parton, Rufus Wainwright, Chrissy Hynde, and Shawn Colvin.
The album 'Born To The Breed' is due for release on Wildflower Records.
The Webb Sisters were featured as ' Record of the Week' and 'Album of the week' alongside Ray Lamontagne, at BBC Radio 2.
Charley and Hattie have toured and performed with artists such as Jamie Cullum, Jason Mraz, Cara Dillon, Kubb and James Morrison; and played live on The Sharon Osbourne Show.
