Biography:

"Think of Taylor Swift but there would be two of her and she would have a lot more soul, mixed with the kind of sibling harmonies that would make The Rankins question whether they are truly related, ask them to play pretty much any instrument under the sun and you have The Command Sisters." - Chris Martin, CBC Radio

Biography

The Command Sisters have been taking the international music scene by storm all with a unique sound, hair-raising harmonies and a captivating live show. With incredible original material (not only far beyond their years, but totally and
completely their own) these two enchanting performers have quickly arrived onto the music scene, and have been stealing hearts, everywhere from Alberta to Tennessee. Charlotte has emerged as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation. As well, Sarah's abilities to solo and improv, on just about any instrument she picks up, has everyone in the music industry sitting up and paying attention.

After the girls' start in 2005, they quickly went from backtracks and singing at senior's centres, to picking up multiple instruments, writing their own music, and performing at such venues as opening for Gord Bamford at the Shaw Conference Centre to performing alongside George Canyon, Johnny Reid, Emerson Drive, One More Girl, Pear and The Travelling Mabels at the CBC Concert of Hope Benefit for Slave Lake!

The girls are so excited to share that they have just signed a publishing/production deal with David Malloy of Hoot Owl Music. While on a month's tour in Nashville (where they performed at multiple venues; famed Blue Bird Cafe Songwriter Night and a one hour All-Original Show, Balcony TV - Hard Rock Cafe, Hotel Indigo, and, The Billy Block Show), host of the Nashville Hootenanny, David Malloy (writer/producer of 41 Number One Hits), heard the girls and quickly signed them to his Label. “I just think they’re magic and I would do anything for them,” he says. “There’s just something special about them when their voices come together. I love Charlotte’s voice and the way Sarah hears harmonies is so unique. They go for what sounds right, what feels right to them.” - David Malloy

Charlotte and Sarah's summer was also hi-lited by a personal invitation from the Provincial Government to attend a private reception for His Royal Highness, Prince William and wife, Kate. The girls were so honoured to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. This special day was rounded out by a live national interview with CBC TV.

Over the past few years, The Command Sisters have been busy performing at multiple venues and events; Edmonton Folk Fest, Canmore Folk Fest, The Next Fest, The Lilac Fest, CKUA Radio Backstage Series, CKUA Radio Open House, CKUA Good Libations, CKUA Terry David Mulligan Show, Mountain View Music Fest, The Works, Central Fest, Disneyland's Southwest Conference, House of Blues Acoustic Brew, Island Folk Fest, CBC's Centre Stage, Festival Place Patio Series, Night of Artists, Homefest, multiple rodeos, fundraisers, festivals, and private functions. They can be heard on CKUA Radio, CBC Edmonton AM, WITRR Nebraska, Celtic Live 365 UK, Women of Substance, Skope Boston, Women's, CACH Vancouver, Indie104 LA, Fort Radio, Edmonton AM Edpod Challenge, and the Prairie Bell's Podcast. The Command Sisters are also featured online in The Edmonton Journal, GigCity, The Buzzin' Box and IAE Magazine. They have also had appearances on Global Television, Breakfast Television, CFRN TV, and Access TV Prime Time.

"The first time I saw The Command Sisters, I was a little stunned. Here were two pixie-like young girls - supposedly newcomers - with the musical skills and stage presence of veteran performers with decades under their belt. The Command Sisters were and are confident, charming, funny … and most of all … VERY talented. If you ever have a chance to catch them, do it, because the Command Sisters are going places!" - Ken Regan, General Manager, CKUA Radio Network.

And, another part of the sisters' musical journey, is to give back and volunteer. Not only do they mentor young aspiring artists in local schools, they are a part of the Stollery Children's Hospital Oncology/Cardiology Ward music program. Charlotte and Sarah volunteer their music with the children on the 'Beach', Teen Room and even sing in the Intensive Care and rooms on the Ward.
