From The Judds to the Dixie Chicks and the Carter Family itself, country music’s history is steeped in and rife with family duos, bands, and groups. Warner Music Nashville sister duo Walker County adds to that ‘family tradition’ with blood-thick harmonies and solid musicianship. Born and raised in rural Sulphur Springs, Indiana, sisters Ivy Dene (lead vocals) and Sophie Dawn (percussion and harmony) have been performing almost as long as they can remember. Sophie’s hard-driving rhythms and Ivy’s strutting, soulful vocals create a unique blend of country music that was inspired by the sounds of middle America they grew up on. And now, having spent years honing their skills, Walker County is ready to carry on the heritage of country music with their modern-traditional blend. The 2020 CMT Listen Up and Next Women of Country artists started rolling out new music in the fall, showcasing both their range and true-to-themselves style in feisty rocker “Shovel,” wistful reflection “Drag It Out” and upbeat ode to loving relationships “Someone’s Someone.” They’re kicking off 2021 with the bright pop country of “Bits & Pieces,” their major-label debut single, as they prepare for a breakout year.
