The Watson Twins
This folk duo has a CD for you. Try out “How Am I To Be” from Fire Songs (2008 Vanguard). This doesn’t strike the listener as earth-shattering stuff, but it is sort of nice to listen to. They are twins, and they will travel together to, well, nearly everywhere this summer. This tour will take Chandra and Leigh a long way from their roots in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Watson Twins will start in Hollywood in late June, whisk their way across the U.S. to Pittsburgh and then return to Long Beach, California. The Pennsylvania date is the 11th Annual WYEP Music Fest. That might be a nice place to check them out. How about seeing these folkies in Washington D.C., New York City, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, St. Paul, Minnesota and then follow them back to the west coast.
Personal note: I sort of like “Just Like Heaven” from the new CD. Again, it ain’t overpowering music, but there’s something there that grabs attention. Maybe it’s the background players who interpret the twins’ songs well. For what it’s worth, they have attracted enough attention to appear on some “major” television shows. The biographical information provided by the duo states things like “warm” and “comfortable.” That’s not too hard to buy.

As they started very young,they have really gone long way and above all they are very talented.There is that passion in their voices.I have listened to few numbers by them they are super.The lyrics and music both are lovable.Must give it a try nice stuff after very long.
well, this is great. i think they are the first twins to join the music industry. right? it is good to see talented twins together. this is very rare. and i think that these two are going to be a big hit in the music industry. i have not heard their songs but i am looking forward to it.
Not only do they look the same they sound exactly the same, meaning they both sound great. The songs are indeed nice to listen to with voices cool like ice that really refreshing to hear.
They do sound so similar to other artists I’ve heard recently, one featured in this site in fact.
While I’m no expert in music history, I seriously doubt that there haven’t been any twins in the music industry. Popular music has been around for a long time, over a century or so, thus it seems unlikely that no set of twins has ever dabbled in music before these twins showed up.
yeah Froix, you are right. it is so amazing that we have singers like them. and it is not impossible that they sound a like because maybe it is really in their genes to have great voices. and some say that if you have twins, you will more likely be just like him or her.=)
yeah fardreamer, i also have not heard or i do not really recall if there are twins in the music industry. it is very interesting to see twins in the music industry. their popularity will really make their parents happy. it feels great when you have the same dream and achieve it both.=)
“How am I to be” of The Watson Twins is nice. I like their introduction. It was simple but had caught my attention. It is good to know also that as twins they are good partners. I hope there will be no rivalry between them since they are equally good and they are best when they are together.
