We grew up singing together at home, church, around the campfire, and on long car rides, but were never very committed to learning instruments beyond piano lessons and middle school band. We are the daughters of a choir teacher and a singer/songwriter so we grew up with rich exposure of folk, jazz, choral, opera and dad rock. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. If you had asked any of us if we saw it coming even 7 years ago, we would’ve laughed hysterically. Rosie and Rachel moved from Portland, OR and Costa Rica, respectively, to Chattanooga, TN the month their first nephew was born, and the band took off in earnest. After another wedding gig, and Amelia’s baby on the way, we decided the “Sister Band Dream” was now or never. The following summer we rendezvoused at Amelia’s in Chattanooga, unknowingly auditioning the town to be our future home-base. We had so much fun being together with a common purpose, getting intimate with songs we thought we knew, and performing for the people we love, we were hooked. We spent a month together in the Pacific Northwest learning pop covers on our hodgepodge of collected instruments none of us really knew how to play. At that time our cousin was getting married and asked us to play her ceremony and welcome music. When we all found ourselves in teaching professions spread out across the northern hemisphere, an opportunity emerged to get together over our summer breaks. Rosie and Rachel stuck with choir and voice lessons to pursue (mostly classical) music in college but never kept up with instrumental study beyond the bare minimum piano playing to plunk out vocal lines or accompany middle school choir warm-ups. Amelia has always been an avid music listener, and led the charge of our collective taste as the oldest sibling, but shied away from performance for most of her childhood/early adulthood. We are sisters that come from very different emotional relationships with music. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally? Call Me Spinster, appreciate you joining us today. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below. Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Call Me Spinster.
