SUMMARY:WXPN's Free At Noon: The Watson Twins
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: WXPN's Free At Noon: The Watson Twins=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.phillyfunguide.com/event/detail/80827=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2010-02-12=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2010-02-12=0D=0A=0D=0ABorn and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, identical twins Chandra and Leigh Watson have developed a style of indie folk that does more than nod to alt-country influences. Their Southern belle charm, their close-knit harmonies, and their inclusion in the LA folk scene all combine to sell out venues throughout California. Be sure to sign up for their free performance at this Friday's show before it is sold out as well.=0D=0A=The twins grew up in the midst of Southern country and roots traditions, then relocated to California in the late '90s to establish a local band, Slydell. At the same time, they began to collaborate with some of the other well-known musicians in Silver Lake, including Jenny Lewis. Collaborations with Rilo Kiley (the main project of Lewis) soon brought the sweet, soulful vocals of the two sisters to the attention of critics and fans alike.=0D=0A=Since then, The Watson Twins have collaborated and released four albums. Their fifth release, Talking To You, Talking To Me is due February 9 on Vanguard Records. The record seems to pull more for vintage Southern influences than previous releases, incorporating sultry soul and old-time country into their electric guitar confessionals. A retreat to a Yosemite cabin for creating the album seems to have given the album a revelatory feel.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Noon
