Wowan's sister act to wow Beef 2015

Their latest jig falls on the back of their debut album Temporary Balms, which was released earlier this month.

The new CD was recorded last year at Tommirock Studios, Newcastle, NSW, by the ARIA-charting producer Joel Black.

So how did the girls end up recording their album in Newcastle, all the way from Rockhampton?

Joel and Rachel met at a rained out top-deck gig on one of the Cruisin' Country voyages, where Joel's band was supposed to play for Rachel.

They didn't get the chance to perform together but they did discuss all things music, including a possible recording.

With the long trek down south, Rachel and Rebecca knew they had to get it right the first time, without the luxury of popping back into the studio at any time.

Ultimately, the album was completed in just nine days, while filming their first music video, A Little Bit, at the same time.

The filming of the clip brought back some great memories, as Rachel remembers.

"It was fun, but cold - after all, it was a roof-top scene in the middle of July with Bec in a little skirt!" she said.

The singer-songwriter sisters hail from beef cattle and grain property Evelyn, near Wowan, where their parents Jim and Terry Olsson and other family members still run the property.

Rachel and Rebecca have been singing together for as long as they can remember, and they have performed together in a number of bands for the past 10 years.

Their music is reminiscent of legendary sister acts the Dixie Chicks and Wilson Phillips.

This sister act has performed at some of the country's most iconic music festivals and events including Urban Country, Airlie Beach Music Festival, Boyne Valley Country Music Campout, and Cruisin' Country 2, 3 and 4.

The first stop for Innocent Eve in 2015 was the Tamworth Country Music Festival before their regional tour of NSW.

Temporary Balms features 13 tracks, with the first 10 written by the duo's collective pen and the three remaining tracks being reworkings of some much-loved songs including Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Tracy Chapman's Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution and Creedence Clearwater Revival's classic Proud Mary.

The album also showcases Rachel and Rebecca's instrumental talents on piano and acoustic guitar respectively.

"The album's title Temporary Balms is about the vices or 'temporary' fixes we apply to certain situations, even though we know they're not best for us, or permanent solutions, like drinking away the pain," Rebecca said.

Second single Into the Light was written about the siblings themselves and was released on radio in early March.

It was the first complete song they wrote together, and while the central message is about the sisters turning to each other, the message can transcend to most situations.

For those fans wishing to hear Innocent Eve in concert, they will be on the Ergon stage at Beef 2015 from noon to 1.30pm on the Monday and Wednesday.

They also can be seen on the children's stage on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 11.30am, and at the Stirling Best Western Rockhampton on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 6.30pm to 10.30pm.
