The twins started after playing a song they’d written to their singing teacher, Ann Bailey, who had been a session singer in Nashville. She liked it so much that she got them into the studio with producer Barry O’Neill who helped them record an EP called A Wasteland Companion (2013), followed by two more EPs: Backwards Glance (2014) & Paint The Town Red (2015). In 2016 they were signed by Universal Music Group, for whom they recorded their debut album From Where We Stand, which reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart selling over 100K copies in its first week of release!

The latest single to be added to her new album will be released later this year, and we’re excited about it! You can find Yola’s music on Spotify and other places where you stream music.

Motel Sundown

The band Motel Sundown is an excellent example of the new contemporary Country Music artists breaking into the UK music scene.
