American Blonde - Country Music Sister Duo

from Top Hill Recording Podcast · host Neil Johnstone/Brad Weston

From trio to duo; from being Southern Halo to becoming American Blonde, the Morris sisters have stuck together through thick and thin. With recent rebranding, they are casting off any preconceived notions as to who they should be and are fully embracing who they are - a powerhouse of talent; invigorated, motivated and fully realized. There were several catalysts behind this transformation, but Nata and Tinka decided to reassess their commitment to the band and what they wanted for their futures. After a lot of soul-searching and reflection, the two knew their best path forward lay in their shared past. Their truest love was for the raw, edgier sounds of their musical roots - and it was calling them home. A new producer, artist and songwriter Cliff Downs, was brought in and things started to gel. As children of the Mississippi Delta, the siblings were raised surrounded by the blues-oriented music of the region. The sounds of The Eagles, B.B. King, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, Elvis, Stevie Nicks and more echoed through their home, and the extensive live music scene drew them like magnets to festivals, fairs and fish fries where music was front and center. Entertainers since their pre-teen years, the Morris sisters have literally lived their lives in the spotlight....and loved every minute of it. Their determination and talent earned them a slot competing in the 2014 Texaco Country Showdown, which led to the immediate release of their first EP (produced by Alabama’s Jeff Cook). Two well-received CDs, released in 2015 and 2018 (produced by hit songwriters Gerald O’ Brien and Catt Gravitt) followed. As Southern Halo, they landed three Top 25 hits on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart with “Anything Is Possible,” “I Think Too Much” and “Don’t Let Another Day Go By.” They toured throughout the U.S. and the U.K., sharing the stage with acts ranging from Maren Morris to Dionne Warwick and making a name for themselves as up-and-coming Pop/Country darlings. With a new name, a new outlook, and a new album, American Blonde is shaking off any strictures of the past and jumping headfirst into the future.
