The Secret Sisters

Laura and Lydia Rogers signed their first record deal after an open audition in Nashville in 2009. The soulful gospel singers toured with artists such as Levon Helm, Ray LaMontagne, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and K.D. Lang, but their second album didn’t meet their label’s expectations and they were dropped.

After they fired their manager, he filed a lawsuit and they ended up having to file for bankruptcy. Out of the ashes came a crowd-funded third album, “You Don’t Own Me Anymore.”

“This record is deeply personal because of what we endured,” Lydia Rogers says on the sisters’ website. “But it’s important as an artist and songwriter to talk about the times things weren’t great. This is a hard business, and it’s not all roses and rainbows.”
