Emmie and Katie Slaven (The Slaven Sisters) have been singing all of their lives. Being raised in a small country church near the Big South Fork Park in Jamestown, TN- they quickly learned the appreciation of the old church hymns and harmony. It wasn’t long until the girls ventured into the world of song writing and the rest is history. They credit many of the older country artist for inspiring them to spread their wings and giving them the courage to pursue on with their dreams. Both girls enjoy traveling and singing in a variety of venues and are first responders with their local rescue squad in Fentress County. They give God the glory for everything in their lives and look forward to getting to know others and have the honor of performing in your area.
