Now you may be
scratching your head and mumbling to yourself, "Now who are these
Corn Sisters?! I don't believe I'm familiar with them...." Well,
wonder no more!
The Corn Sisters are a dynamic touring duo featuring the talents of
two of the hardest-working (and best looking) ladies the North
American West Coast has to offer.
First of all,
hailing from Snohomish County, Washington, there's the delightfully
effervescent Miss Neko Case who takes care of all can-spanking (that's
drums to you and me), sings a mean high lead, and will be returning to
her first love - tap-dancing!! How does she do it all? All that and
she's single-handedly managed to raise two fine young boys - Lester
(age 8) and Carl Jr. (age 9). Carl Sr. passed on a few years back
after a fiery car crash on B.C.'s perilous Coquihalla Highway. The
Corn Sisters' song "Too Many Pills On Too Dark A Night" was
written by Neko as a tender tribute to Carl Sr.'s untimely passing and
is, quite possibly, the song most requested by Corn Sisters' fans
everywhere.
Secondly, there's
the lovely and talented Miss Carolyn Mark who plays guitar and is
known for her unique tuning and the now famous deceptively simple
strumming style that has become such a big part of the the Corn
Sisters' "sound." ("Aw hell, I just got my cousin to
show me a few simple chords when I was about thirteen so's I'd have
something to sing along with at the next barn-dance..... He used to
say I was guitarded!") Miss Carolyn also sings "all the
notes [she] can reach" and is being shown a few tap-dancing steps
by a very patient Miss Neko.
The girls look
forward to meeting new fans and future ex-husbands at every stop on
their tour. Don't be shy and bring extra spending money!!
See you real soon,
- "Kernal"
