The haunting vocals and versatile song writing skills of Cyrano’s Joe Ackerley join the exciting new singing style of his hitherto unknown sister Alice to form The Ackerleys.

Joe Ackerley, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Tunbridge Wells rock heroes & Grey Lady favourites Cyrano is already well known for his catchy riffs and melodic harmonies. His younger sister Alice, at 15 years of age has an originality and purity to her voice that will pierce you to the heart. Together their voices blend and intensify, complementing each other as siblings often do. The simple directness yet compelling beauty of their lyrics complete the experience.

If it is possible to make draw a comparison - perhaps Kings of Leon meet Laura Marling. The result is a new folk rock duo bursting with talent just waiting to be discovered.
