Alanna and Brianne

The tradition of singing sisters goes on. Alanna and Brianne are only sixteen. What a talented duo of singer songwriters.

I heard them busking on White Rock beach one day. Their harmony reached out to envelop me as I strolled, and I paused to listen.

The song was Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon, an old favourite, and they performed it with the sensitivity and expression of much older and more experienced chanseuses.

At age fourteen, these girls performed their original composition Part of Me on local television, prior to heading for Nashville. Amazing.

I wanted to hear more, but there was a train coming, a long one. I waited for it to pass, then asked the girls if they had a CD. Instead, they gave me their card: I could hear them online. And I did. Lovely.

Here they are with their own composition, an anti-bullying song. It's so inspiring to see the new generations coming up, filled with talent and awareness.
