Alanna & Alicia are twin sisters who blend folk, jazz and roots in their original, acoustic songs. Known for their sweet harmonies and fine songwriting, the sisters have charmed audiences from the National Folk Festival, Canberra to Fairbridge, Western Australia with their onstage warmth, wit and sense of fun. Their lyrics, equal parts heart and humour, sparkle with an original, intimate voice that is rare in songwriters today. As identical twins, they share a uniquely intuitive, creative partnership and have a natural musical rapport. They have had considerable recognition for their songwriting, winning awards at several national festivals. Both have been finalists in the Australian Songwriting Awards and Alicia won Best New Talent at Port Fairy Folk Festival early in her music career. Their fourth album, 'Songs I'm Singing with Me' was launched at the National Folk Festival in April, 2017. They have three previous albums of original material - 'Twinlines' 2013, 'Two in a Book' 2010 and 'Funny She's So Much Like Me' 2006. 'Songs I'm Singing with Me' is a tribute to acclaimed singer songwriter, John Beavis, whose beautiful songs were not as widely heard as deserved due to his ongoing battle with mental illness. Their band features the fine talents of Damien Neil (guitar) and Matiss Schubert (piano, violin, mandolin). The band plays around the Australian festival circuit, folk clubs and other venues and has recently played at the National Folk Festival, Canberra, Illawarra Folk Festival, NSW, the Blue Mountains Music Festival, NSW, Yackandandah Folk Festival, Victoria, Cygnet, Tasmania, and the Turning Wave Festival in NSW. In 2015 they spent 5 weeks in the US, playing an official showcase and several private showcases at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City.
