The Smith Sisters attracted attention when their debut album, Mockingbird, released in 1984, was produced by the late Merle Watson and featured guest appearances by top-ranked bluegrass pickers including Sam Bush, Mark O'Connor, Doc Watson and T. Michael Coleman. But, it was their octave-spanning vocal harmonies that truly showcased their musical strengths. Although they've followed their own paths, Philadelphia-born Debi Smith (December 30, 1953) and her younger sister Megan (December 29, 1958) continue to reflect country warmth and harmonious texture as The Smith Sisters. Debi Smith, who also performs and records with the Four Bitchin' Babes, remains at the core of The Smith Sisters' sound. Equally skilled at acoustic guitar, bodhran and piano and possessor of a three-octave vocal range, Smith writes most of the duo's songs and sings lead. Megan, who is currently working towards a masters degree in environmental science, keeps arrangements anchored on electric bass and sings harmonies that blend naturally with her sister. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
