Bio
The Rankin Twins, Amy and April, are a winning double dose of Texas born and bred country music charm. Performing and charming folks since they were old enough to stand up and do so, the duo meld deep Lone Star State musical roots with a shimmer of pop savvy into a sound that feels hit-bound from the very first listen. Now based in the heart of Texas in Austin, The Rankin Twins are quickly rising in the local club scene and expanding their audience across their home state and then as far beyond as it can go. Currently recording their aptly-titled debut EP, Headaches and Heartbreaks, for an early 2010 release, The Rankin Twins prove that one plus one can add up to far more than the sum of their identical yet congruent parts.
About
We are the RANKIN TWINS...April & Amy. Since we were little, that's what we've been called. So we thought that was a great name to stick with. Well we have been singing tunes of artists such as Madonna, Reba, and Diamond Rio since we were little girls. We've always had a love for performing and knew one day we'd be doing something more than singing at family member's weddings and our annual Christmas Eve parties. So, after a breakup at the end of 2006 Amy wrote her first song and things just escalated from there. We recorded our first demo in March 2008 and formed a band in Dallas, Tx in that next month and began performing in May of '08. We've played shows all over Texas and were just starting our music career when Amy was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 2 surgeries and a bunch of headaches later....here we are back in the saddle and ready to do what it takes to create the perfect sound for the RANKIN TWINS. We are in the process of recording our debut EP "Headaches and Heartbreaks" and looking forward to 2010, hoping to follow in the footsteps of great acts like The Dixie Chicks, Sara Evans, and Carter's Chord to name a few. We also started a photography company called TWINTY PHOTOGRAPHY. Creativity lives in our souls and we are so happy to be "doing what we love and loving what we do!"
Love your guts,
April & Amy
