KneeOn Sisters
Singer-Songwriters
When did you first get into music? We started our band about 3 years ago. We had been playing guitar and bass for fun a couple years before then, but in late 2017, we decided to become more serious about our music. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? Aerial - “I guess sometimes things kind of click. Ever since I was little, I wanted to play music professionally. That decision was a little odd however, considering growing up, we didn’t know anyone that played music. We really picked everything up on our own. After we played our first show, we new it was what we wanted to do!”
How has your music evolved since you first began performing? When we were just getting started, we played a lot of country music: Piston Annie’s, Miranda Lambert, etc. Now we’ve definitely turned to a more rock/blues kind of vibe! Although we do still keep a bit of country in our set! ;) I’m sure you have shared the stage with a lot of talented artists/celebrities along the way. Would you share 1 or 2 of your favorite stories with us? In March 2018 we were the guest house band for the Mary C. O’Keefe Cultural Center “Songs and Stories” showcase. They were headlining Dave Pahanish, a Nashville writer who has written numerous hit songs including #1 hits for Keith Urban. We were still pretty new at the music game, and even though we were just playing instrumental, we were very nervous and awkward (as starting artist often are). However, Pahanish and his wife were so kind and encouraging! Then just a year later, we became the headliner for that very show! It was really cool to see the progress we were blessed to have in such little time! If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why? Skyler - “Well, for me, I think I’d choose passion. When I think of all the work that goes into our band, the only ‘justification’ of why I do it is because of the deep passion and love for it.”
