The Twigs, aka Twigs, are twin sisters and musician/singer/songwriters Laura Good and Linda Good. Raised in Chicago, by way of Ohio and Mexico City, the twins are self-taught musicians who learned piano, guitar and songwriting by studying Beatles songs. Using their childhood nickname "Twigs" as their band name, the duo has released four albums.[1] Their songs have appeared in film and television shows including "Love, Love, Love (Remix)" in Cruel Intentions 3 (Sony Pictures) and "Oh Mary" in Men in Trees (ABC). After being a well-known part of the alternative pop scene in Chicago,[2] they moved to California in 2000, which launched their careers as songwriters and producers, and where the LA Weekly described them as, "...Silky voiced sirens with universal appeal."[3] Linda toured separately as a keyboardist/backup singer with such notable acts as Jane's Addiction, The Mars Volta, Lisa Marie Presley, and Bitter:Sweet, while still co-writing with Laura on Twigs projects. They released a CD of rock/pop songs especially for children, Jump Right In in 2013.[4] In 2017, Laura Good was featured in a short film with musicians Daniel Carlson and Bark Benton produced by the Bouffant Collective.[5] Their most recent project was writing the original musical, LadyShip, which debuted at the New York Musical Theater Festival (NYMF) in New York City in 2019.[6][7] The Twigs are currently based out of Los Angeles and Virginia.
