Meet Country Music Duo SPINN:
If you look at the vast history of country music in New Jersey, you’ll find there isn’t a vast history of country music in New Jersey, which is what makes twin sister country duo Spinn a bit of an anomaly. New Jersey natives Stephanie and Cheryl Lynn Spinner describe themselves as "city girls with country hearts," having grown up in a music-loving family. The sisters play traditional country music, inspired by artists like Dolly Parton, and write their own songs (with help from a best friend from high school). Both play the piano, and Cheryl Lynn plays the autoharp. While majoring in music industry at Monmouth University in their home state, they were able to perform at venues like The Stone Pony and the Saint (where another New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen also got his start), and they've shared billing with Drew Baldridge, Trent Harmon, Kalie Shorr, and LANCO. |

While their New Jersey home may not be known for country music, the Spinner sisters are leaving a cowboy boot imprint on the Garden State and the rest of the country. In 2016, Spinn won country music station NASH FM’s NASH Next regional competition - which featured over 750 bands - earning them a trip to Nashville to perform in the finals and tour with the other Top 10 finalists from around the country.
Brooks & Dunn’s Kix Brooks, who was one of the competition’s judges, was so impressed with the duo that he asked to be part of the Spinn Fan Club (other judges included Big Machine Label Group’s Scott Borchetta, Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus, and Season 4 winner of The Voice, Danielle Bradbery). Hitting the stage with their unique mix of traditional with playful banter and a heaping dose of humor, Spinn wins people over with both their music and their personality. It’s a combination that has brought country music fans together in many of New York’s and New Jersey’s top venues. With three successful EPs already under their belt, Cheryl and Stephanie are enjoying living out their dreams, as they’re well on their way to being in rotation alongside the giants of the genre. On May 9th, Spinn released their single “Crazy for You,” a heart-warming, upbeat love song that is making audiences smile and sing along. |
