The Watson Twins
Long before their entwined voices took them around the world - first as harmony singers for Jenny Lewis, then as leaders of their own critically-acclaimed band - The Watson Twins grew up in the American South. They sang in the church choir. They listened to gospel classics and country standards. Those sounds became part of their musical foundation, connecting the siblings to their Kentucky hometown even after they relocated to Los Angeles and, years later, settled in Nashville.

This includes Song of the Year "Aquamarine," which took home the win at the 2024 San Diego Music Awards. Regarding her live performance, she made waves at the most recent Americanafest, where she was written as one of the festival's "biggest musical takeaways." On the road Kimmi is backed by The Westside Twang.
