Twin Sisters And Their Rock Band: Courage My Love

Last updated on April 19th, 2015 at 10:28 pm

Canadian sisters Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn began writing music together at the age of 14 year old. Three years later, Warner signed them onto their roster of bands, and they began their journey as they took their act to the next level. Now 21, the twin sisters explain how their parents are never too far away. Their father drives them to every concert they book, including the whole route of Warped Tour 2014, which is no small task, (even for a professional driver). Their mother also tags along, selling merchandise behind a table in the back of the room at each show. How awesome is that!?

In our interview, Mercedes and Phoenix share a bunch of fun stories from their past, and even give advice for bands looking to get further into their careers as musicians. And, it’s only Music In Minnesota tradition to end the interview with their signature dance move!
