Musical talent is generally where good fortune allows you to find it. Imagine finding it in your hometown. Now imagine finding it in young women from the same family\u2014young women who are identical twins. That\u2019s the story of Alexandra and Lauren Mann. And their talent is decidedly our good fortune.<\/p>\n

The daughters of South Miami residents Zack and Rosemary Mann were born and raised right here and are fourth-generation Floridians.\u00a0 Singer-songwriter duo have chosen appropriately and succinctly, to call their act the \u201cMann Sisters.\u201d\u00a0 At the age of 22 their dedication and hard work have reaped rewards which have catapulted them to early fame in Miami and Nashville.<\/p>\n

As students attending Palmer-Trinity High, the Mann sisters excelled in academics, sports, art and music. So much so in fact that they both received full scholarships to attend the University of Miami\u2019s Frost School of Music. They tried it for a while, but concluded that there was no time like the present to pursue their career together in music.<\/p>\n

The sisters describe their musical style as acoustic-based and a mix of American rock and modern country. Their vocal style takes advantage of their talent as singers and the fact that they share that warm and close harmonic quality particular to siblings. They play a variety of musical instruments and are keen to learn others.<\/p>\n

The Mann sisters enjoy \u201cgrowing their talent,\u201d as they refer to it. They cut their teeth on gigs at places such as the Titanic Brewery, John Martin\u2019s Irish Pub, and Tobacco Road among many other music spots in Miami. They developed a loyal following before graduating from high school.<\/p>\n

The sisters caught the attention of singer-songwriter Fernando Perdomo, who produced their debut EP (extended play), titled \u201cThe Mann Sisters.\u201d All the songs were written and played by Lauren and Alexandra, with the rhythm section of Perdomo on bass and Derek Cintron on drums.<\/p>\n

A little less than two years ago Alexandra and Lauren moved to Nashville, where they continue to perform regularly for loyal followers in Tennessee. And those fans came out in force when the duo was booked at Nashville\u2019s famous Bluebird Cafe–their online tickets sold out in three minutes. The sisters have received accolades like the DisCovery Award for their song \u201cHalloween Night\u201d (recorded 2012). This song was chosen by MusicRow Magazine\u2019s most respected music critic, author and historian, Robert Oermann. The popularity of \u201cHalloween Night\u201d and their first single \u201cBreath Slow\u201d has garnered heavy airplay on thousands of radio stations from Nashville to Key West.<\/p>\n

The Mann Sisters have performed at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, The Listening Room in Nashville, The Miami Music Festival and Puckett\u2019s in Nashville. They continue to play gigs whenever they are in the Miami area.<\/p>\n

When asked about their future, they will tell you that they want\u00a0to remain successful for a long time.\u00a0\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t fun, I wouldn\u2019t be doing it,\u201d said Lauren.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping they find it fun for a very long time.
