The Toy Hearts, sisters Hannah and Sophia Johnson and their father Stewart Johnson, play a mixture of original bluegrass and western swing; carving their own niche between genres and combining elements of traditional ‘Americana’ music with a distinctly European edge. What sets this band apart is their original song-writing, they are perhaps the first band to come from the UK playing an essentially American style of music, who are making an impact in the USA.

Since their debut album in 2006, followed by a second in 2008, this band continues to defy complete categorisation, they are a controversial mix; while their family relationship sets them squarely within the traditional realms of country music, Hannah and Sophia’s sassy look and vivacious delivery brings them bang up to date. The culmination of their work so far to define and hone their distinctive sound, will be the recording of their 3rd album in Nashville, in January 2010, with producer David Mayfield from Cadillac Sky.
