Exclusive Artist Interview: The Watson Twins
Chandra and Leigh Chat About Upcoming Release Holler and Headlining Tour
The Watson Twins’ southern roots run deep. Growing up in the American South, the siblings sang in the church choir and laid their musical foundations on both gospel and country classics. Blessed with exquisite voices, Chandra and Leigh have melded their own style with dynamic harmonies and intermingling vocal leads. Over the years, The Watson Twins have grown into top-notch songwriters and artists with a chemistry that comes naturally.
This Friday, the duo will release a brand new album Holler which gifts the listener with their modern version of old-school country. From beautiful ballads and magnificent melodies to true honky-tonk jam sessions, Holler is a soon-to-be country classic and one that you will want to add to your collection.
In addition to the release of the new record, The Watson Twins are embarking on a headlining tour to bring their music to the masses. The tour kicks off Wednesday, June 21st, right here in Charlotte, NC, at the Neighborhood Theatre and it’s a show you won’t want to miss.
Shutter 16 Magazine had the pleasure of chatting with Chandra and Leigh to discuss the ins and outs of Holler as well as the upcoming tour. You can listen to our interview in full below.
