Edmonton, Alberta Canada - Our latest "Musician Spotlight" is on two lovely sisters that forms The Command Sisters from Canada. These two lovely sisters, Charlotte & Sarah are wonderful singers that have great vocals. Their style of singing is Folk and Alternative Country that sounds great. Charlotte Command is a 16 year old singer and songwriter, while her 13 year old sister, Sarah Command sings and does solos.
These two sisters states: We're Charlotte and Sarah, and we're sisters... although, we're pretty much best friends too. We are just two average girls; goofy and crazy at times, creative, messy, and we like having the last word. We still have a few fights, and immediately after, we're smiling and laughing because of how silly it all was. We love food, our family…oh, and this little thing called music. Actually, its become quite a big part of our lives. I guess you could call it our passion, expression, or escape. Yeah. That sounds about right.
"Together, their bittersweet harmonies are like a prairie sunset on an August night — so gorgeous, you'll want to stop what you're doing just to soak it all in. Never heard of them? That's about to change. The Command Sisters are turning ears in Nashville and could be the next big thing to come out of the Edmonton area" says Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton Journal Music Editor.
After the girls' start in 2005, they quickly went from backtracks and singing at senior's centres, to picking up multiple instruments, writing their own music, to opening for Gord Bamford at the Shaw Conference Centre and performing alongside George Canyon, Johnny Reid, Emerson Drive, One More Girl, Pear and The Travelling Mabels at CBC's nationally televised Concert of Hope for Slave Lake!
The girls are so excited to share that they have just signed a publishing/production deal with David Malloy of Hoot Owl Music (writer/producer of 41 number one hits), heard the girls and quickly signed them to his Label. “I just think they're magic and I would do anything for them,” he says. “There's just something special about them when their voices come together. I love Charlotte's voice and the way Sarah hears harmonies is so unique. They go for what sounds right, what feels right to them.”
Charlotte and Sarah's summer was also highlighted by a personal invitation from the Provincial Government to attend a private reception for His Royal Highness, Prince William and wife, Kate. The girls were so honoured to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. This special day was rounded out by a live national interview with CBC Canada TV.
Over the past few years, The Command Sisters have been also busy performing at multiple festivals and events; Edmonton Folk Fest, Canmore Folk Fest, The Next Fest, The Lilac Fest, CKUA Radio Backstage Series, CKUA Radio Open House, CKUA Good Libations, CKUA Terry David Mulligan Show, Mountain View Music Fest, The Works, Central Fest, Disneyland's Southwest Conference, House of Blues Acoustic Brew, Island Folk Fest, CBC's Centre Stage, Festival Place Patio Series, Night of Artists, Homefest, multiple rodeos, fundraisers, and private functions. They can be heard on CKUA Radio, CBC Edmonton AM, WITRR Nebraska, Celtic Live 365 UK, Women of Substance, Skope Boston, Women's, CACH Vancouver, Indie104 LA, Fort Radio, Edmonton AM Edpod Challenge, and the Prairie Bell's Podcast. The Command Sisters are also featured in Songwriter's Association of Canada as the Featured Video and Guest Blog, The Edmonton Journal, GigCity, Music Now Magazine, The Buzzin' Box and IAE Magazine. They have also had appearances on CBC National, CBC Edmonton, Global Television, Breakfast Television, CFRN TV, and Access TV Prime Time.
"The first time I saw The Command Sisters, I was a little stunned. Here were two pixie-like young girls - supposedly newcomers - with the musical skills and stage presence of veteran performers with decades under their belt. The Command Sisters were and are confident, charming, funny … and most of all … VERY talented. If you ever have a chance to catch them, do it, because the Command Sisters are going places!" says Ken Regan, General Manager of CKUA Radio Network.
And, another part of the sisters' musical journey, is to give back and volunteer. Not only do they mentor young aspiring artists in local schools, they are a part of the Stollery Children's Hospital Oncology/Cardiology Ward music program. Charlotte and Sarah volunteer their music with the children on the 'Beach', Teen Room and even sing in the Intensive Care and rooms on the Ward.
Look for the release of the Command Sister's Nashville CD soon!
Charlotte Command does vocals, guitar and keyboard. Sarah Command does vocals, guitar, mandolin and base. The Command Sisters are amazing young singers that have a very bright future ahead with great harmonies. Not only do The Command Sisters have great harmonies, they can play the guitar. We want to share with you all some videos of them performing along with future appearances, official sites and around 10 photographs from varies events.
"Think of Taylor Swift but there would be two of her and she would have a lot more soul, mixed with the kind of sibling harmonies that would make The Rankins question whether they are truly related, ask them to play pretty much any instrument under the sun and you have The Command Sisters." says Chris Martin of CBC Radio
The Command Sisters have been taking the international music scene by storm all with a unique sound, hair-raising harmonies and a captivating live show.
