A lot like the brothers Doobie or Righteous, the Twins of Franklin are not siblings. They’re besties Becky Shaheen and Laura Lou DuSchane — known professionally as Laura Lou — whose friendship goes back to their meeting at Augsburg University in Minneapolis.
Longtime singers and performers, the two musicians decided to team up on a music project all their own. They released their debut effort, Low, on Feb. 14, 2020 — which proved to be an unlucky time for any music to be released. During the pandemic, however, the two friends stayed in touch and kept writing. Finally getting back into the studio in 2023, the Twins of Franklin recorded their second album, "This Life," which released on May 17.
Ahead of the release party, The Twins of Franklin visited The Current studio for a session hosted by Radio Heartland’s Mike Pengra. Watch and listen to their performance of "Stay," above.
