Bio : The Chapin Sisters Sisters, Abigail and Lily Chapin along with half-sister Jessica Craven
have been singing together since childhood. They formed the group in
the early 2000's with Lily assuming banjo and guitar duties along with
her dazzling voice. Abigail plays the six string acoustic and electric
and boasts the gorgeous campfire vocal, and the sophisticated sister,
Jessica balances out the three part harmonies with her sultry Americana
falsetto. They scored a minor hit in 2005 with an ethereal re-working
of the Brittney Spear's hit, "Toxic". After touring the USA and
recording several new songs for the debut release, The Chapin Sisters
EP (River Bottom, 2005) the girls hit the studio with Thom Monahan
(Vetiver, Devendra Banhart, Lavender Diamond) at the knobs. The results
are the 12 inch LP picture disc split with LA collective, Winter
Flowers on a special eight song feast, that featured the lovely college
radio hit, "Let Me Go" (watch video). The Chapin Sisters are looking forward to the release of their debut LP on Plain Recordings this Winter '08.

Bio : Winter Flowers Founded in the year 2000 by Christof Certik and Gavin Toler, Winter Flowers
bring fourth a brand of heavy folk-rock not seen since the days of The
Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Incredible String Band. Their debut
CD Winter Flowers (Attack Nine/ Darla) was released in 2005 to critical
acclaim in the USA and Europe alike. Their appeal has lead them to
perform with bands as diverse as Devendra Banhart and Dead Meadow. They
have since added many singers and musicians to their collective in
recent years, such as vocalist Astrid Quay, bassist Nick Sapiro, keyboardist Sasha Smith, ex-Beachwood Sparks drummer Aaron Speark and folk-rock sensation, Mia Doi Todd.
The 12 inch picture disc LP was recorded in the winter of 2007 and was
the debut of this full band sound that has lead them to the recording
of the Madonna classic, "Live to Tell" for the upcoming Madonna tribute
on Manimal Vinyl, Through the Wilderness.
