About Me
With one record under their belts, (No Destination, self-released 2003) Teri and Sara are fired up and excited to release their second album How We Resembled It All. A sweet selection of just seven songs, this EP is totally acoustic and recorded to resemble their on-stage performance: intimate, strong, and completely capturing. Each song was recorded in full from start to finish - no layering, no digital enhancing - it is songwriting and performing in its purest form, and it’s what this duo does best. Setting up a few microphones in the studio, Teri & Sara went through their set list and recorded everything in a couple of days in order to capture the most raw and honest performances. An eargerly anticipated, long awaited album sure to be worth the wait.
