The Watson Twins

Check out this video!  The Palace When the Watson Twins sang for Jenny Lewis on her 2006 album Rabbit Fur Coat, they viewed it as simply doing a favor for a friend. Lewis was the Watsons’ neighbor in the Silver Lake neighborhood of L.A., and Chandra and Leigh Watson always liked an opportunity to jam.  “We thought Rilo Kiley was Jenny’s thing and this was just a one-off,” says Chandra. “But it took us around the world,” adds Leigh, “and changed our musical journey.”    On their new album, Holler, a concise, inspired collection of barroom country rave-ups (“Two Timin’”) and restorative ballads (“Never Be Another You”) puts Chandra and Leigh squarely in the spotlight, it trumpets the Watson Twins as one of the must-see acts of the festival circuit.  Luckily, we'll have the twins all to our selves!
