History

The Walker sisters are from Palmer, Alaska,^[2] where they formed a family band with their three brothers and their parents, which they voted to call "Redhead Express" because most of them are redheads.^[2][3] In 2007, motivated by their love of music, the Walkers decided to sell their belongings, purchase an RV, a trailer, and travel across the contiguous United States to perform.^[3][4] Since then, the Walker family has done hundreds of shows during their tours, including at state and county fairs, and festivals.^[4][5] Gradually, the four sisters became the stars of the group, with their parents taking managerial positions,^[2] and their brothers formed a band called the Walker Brothers.^[6]
