“For the past decade or so, the bluegrass, gospel, and traditional country world has been enamored of The Church Sisters, fraternal twins Savannah and Sarah Church from southwestern Virginia, whose duet singing turned heads wherever they performed. Carl Jackson was a big backer of the girls during their teen years, and he brought them to perform on Larry’s Country Diner before they were old enough to drive.
