Laura and Lydia Rogers were born into a very musical family. The Rogers sisters had already seen one family band formed in the form of their grandfather and great uncles’ band The Happy Valley Boys. However, though both of them were singing from an early age either in church or with their family, nobody expected them to form a band together. If anything, Lydia was going to be the one with a career in music, while Laura left home after high school to pursue a career in business at the Middle Tennessee State University. However, life would have a plan of its own, as it do often does, and as Laura’s degree went on, she found herself wanting to sing professionally more and more.
It got to the point that Laura shipped herself up to Nashville, Tennessee to audition for a new singing group that Lydia was trying to make the cut for as well. It was a completely spur the moment idea, and it was just as well that she did, since Lydia got stuck in traffic and couldn’t make it in the end. Laura stunned the executives forming the group with her audition and when they asked her back, she brought along Lydia for the audition as well. When they heard the sisters sing together in harmony they formed the group right there and then. Taking the name The Secret Sisters, Lydia and Laura were flown to Los Angeles, California to record some demos.
These were shopped around to a number of record companies, but the fledgling group found their most fervent admirer in the form of production legend T Bone Burnett. He loved what he heard so much that he created an entirely new imprint of Universal Republic Records called Beladroit just to release their records. Their self-titled debut album came out in October 2010 and since then; they’ve continued to work with Burnett while also collaborating with Jack White for a single release on his Third Man Records label. The band released their second album “Put Your Needle Down” in 2014 and remains one of the most exciting country artists around right now. For that reason, they come highly recommended.

A brighter day is coming my way, Yes, tomorrow will be kinder’… these lyrics to their track Tomorrow Will Be Kinder rang out through the auditorium about half way through the concert, and I felt compelled to write a review of the fantastic The Secret Sisters. Although there’s an abundance of country music merging its way into popular culture at the moment, the sisters Laura and Lydia, have created a magically unique sound that deserves to be spread far and wide.
The harmonies the girls create dance over each other, intertwining. Not one girl sings alto or soprano, they are talented enough to interchange, creating a flawless folk/country sound. They played through Put Your Needle foen from start to finish, with a couple of tracks from their self titled album also added in. When they performed their single I’ve Got A Feeling, the audience were dancing and singing along enthusiastically.
The girls were so grateful for the support and following they received, and came across humbly. It was a great touch that at the end of the show, they stayed to have photographs taken with the audience, which was am unexpected personal touch. They worked the crowd very well, and their talent is remarkable live.

A wonderful show, featuring great harmonies, humorous stories, and a great rapport with the audience.
What more can you ask for? If they are in your neck of the woods, you really need to see them.
