Short bio:
Identical twin sisters Alanna & Alicia have toured the Australian festival circuit, charming audiences with their original folky/ jazz/ roots songs, sweet harmonies, and onstage warmth and fun. Both are gifted songwriters who have won awards at national level, and their lyrics, equal parts heart and humour, sparkle with an original, intimate voice. They will sing songs from their beautiful new album ‘Twinlines’ and also favourites from their previous albums, ‘Two in a Book’‚ 2010 and ‘Funny She’s So Much Like Me’‚ 2006.
Their fine band features talented musicians, Damien Neil (guitar), Silas Palmer (violin/piano) / Matiss Schubert (violin and mandolin), and Liz Frencham (double bass).
'deliciously idiosyncratic and saucy songs...wry, frank observations of life and love…quality quirky lyrics delivered with verve and the kind of close harmonies you'd expect from sisters.'
Tony Hillier, Rhythms Magazine
‘In concert Alanna and Alicia are entertaining and lively characters with an unpredictable, unscripted natural humour inspired by close observations and wry story telling. They are brimming with talent, a free spirit and endearing charm.I recommend them as an ideal, unique and very successful act ideal for clubs and festivals.
It would not surprise me if they ended up on almost any stage in the world'.
