Today we're taking you to the stage of the Americana Fest in Nashville, with a mini-concert from The Whitmore Sisters, Eleanor and Bonnie – and, as will be clear, this is not their first musical rodeo. Bonnie has four solo albums under her belt, while Eleanor has also recorded four albums with her husband Chris, as The Mastersons. The sisters come from a musical family and are both multi-instrumentalists and licensed pilots.

During the quarantine, Eleanor and Bonnie teamed up to make their first record together called Ghost Stories, out now. So sit back, relax and enojoy a live performance recorded late last year for the World Cafe.
