They are hilarious with their crazy antics and always making people laugh. “Highway Sisters” stand up for what they believe, lift others up, live with compassion, and never apologize for who they are. Amelia and KK have completely different backgrounds, yet began their journey together with an instant connection. They were formerly the “The Highway Women” band which is how they met. Without singing together prior, their first meeting was at the studio recording their first EP in Nashville with Dean Miller, Roger Miller’s son. The harmonies meshed instantly, as well as their musical direction and raw, soulful style. Both KK and Amelia have always had the same mentality about this industry…Doesn’t matter how or what, they just want to play music! Thankful for the opportunity of “The Highway Women,” the original direction of the company had changed, therefore making it difficult to pursue their passion.
