The Larkins
|
Shaunna and Tina Larkin are sisters - first by birth and secondly by the natural connective cord of their shared heritage and all consuming love of making music. They've shared stages with some of the biggest names in country music over the last several years. They have traveled all across the U.S. and all over the world performing. They debuted on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry on July 7, 2001. They have returned many times with encore performances.
As witnessed by their first album for Audium Records, "The Larkins", change is good. The first single under that album, "Steady As The Rain" was written by East Tennessee's most famous voice, Dolly Parton! Dolly also added her harmony vocals and appears in the "Steady As The Rain" video that has aired on CMT and GAC. |

The sister duo has been performing since their early childhood. Their bloodline makes them third generation musical artisans, reared in a family steeped in the finest traditions of mountain music. While Shaunna and Tina were still new to the world, their guitarist dad, Lowell, had already continued the cherished family tradition by forming a traveling bluegrass group and touring with his brothers. He was encouraged when his young daughters began singing on stage with the family at ages 3 and 4. He was elated, when at age 5, Shaunna picked up the fiddle and recalls thinking he was bound for "Bluegrass Heaven" when 4 year old Tina chose the mandolin over dolls.
That was then and this is now... |

With childhood behind them and a rich heritage of music ingrained within them, Shaunna and Tina have grown into beautiful young women, fresh faced and filled with energy to help launch their blueprint for a totally new day in country music.
So shake hands bluegrass and country fans and then buckle up! These two vibrant young sisters are on the horizon to tell you... "IT"S ALL ABOUT HARMONY!" |
