The Pierces

The Pierces, sisters Allison and Catherine, are a pair of singer-songwriters based in New York City (by way of Alabama and Nashville). Former ballerinas turned songstresses, they released their self-titled debut in 2000 with Epic. The album was met with lukewarm reception, but the girls were undeterred. After moving to New York, they released Light Of The Moon with Universal in 2005, with similar luck. After leaving the label and their manager to make some serious changes, they recorded their third album with producer Roger Greenawalt and after having opened a week's worth of shows for Albert Hammond Jr. [Catherine Pierce's fiancee] in November 2006, the girls were greeted with much more enthusiastic reception and excellent press. Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was released in April 2007. The Pierces recently gained even more press when they were featured on the December 5th episode of the hit TV show, "Gossip Girl".
