Check out this new 40s / 50s inspired Country, Indie, Folk duo from Muscle Shoales, AL – The Secret Sisters (TSS) who in just year got discovered, and worked and performed w/ the legendary T Bone Burnett and Jack White!
With The Secret Sisters (TSS) – “What You Hear Is What You Get” how many artists can we say that about these days? Laura and Lydia Rogers – recorded their self titled debut album at the legendary Blackbird Studio in Nashville the same way it would have been recorded in the 1950s – no computers or digital equipment – just vintage mics, analog equipment, guitars, and their perfectly harmonized vocals.
TSS have had a whirlwind of a year – Laura and Lydia were discovered at an audition in October 2009, signed to Universal Republic Records shortly after, won the heart and ears of the legendary T Bone Burnett who went on to executive produce their debut album and created Beladroit – a label created specifically for this release -, released their first 7” vinyl featuring and produced by Jack White (The Raconteurs) and recently performed with T Bone Burnett and his band in LA, Jack White in Nashville, and knocked out their first NYC performance at Joe’s Pub just last week! Lastly, will be touring w/ T Bone Burnett, Neko Case, Elton John and more in The Speaking Clock Revue (dates below).
You can check out “About The Secret Sisters” video along w/ their acoustic video of “Do You Love An Apple” and a free download of “Tennessee Me” below.
