Our debut record "Marionette" came out today. August 29 Available on itunes, amazon and other digital retailers. My sister and I started making this record together quite innocently. We missed playing music with one another. Kevin Kadish and his dear friend Wayne Kirkpatrick were gracious enough to agree to write songs with us and see where that road might lead us. We started out with the first song "Marionette". A true story of Leah and I not wanting to be anyone's puppet. We love bluegrass and roots music and that is where the song began. That is where this whole record began. I spent the previous YEARS trying to get a record deal and Leah trying to be noticed as a songwriter so I absolutely never dreamed in million years we would get signed to a major label just weeks after recording just 5 songs. Which consequently are 5 of the songs on "Marionette". Alot has changed since we started making this record over two years ago. Our label has come and gone, and many other components have shifted but one thing has not. Every single song on this album is about our life. We wrote, with Wayne & Kevin ... every moment you hear. I dreamed my whole life for a creative experience like this and to say making this music was "fulfilling" would be a total understatement. This album is one of the things I am most proud of. It makes my heart so incredibly happy for the music to be heard and to have a chance at a life. And I am grateful to label for putting it out. And as my Aunt Lori said to me over a text this morning, "The outcome is the Lords". I hope you will take a few minutes and listen, maybe buy one or two songs or the whole record. We tried to make a entire album worth listening to, not two singles with eight okay songs. But a whole record. And even though it was a completely winding road to get here, we are here. I hope you enjoy "Marionette" as much as I did making it.
With Love,
