Nashville TN – The release of Wild Together on May 24th will mark a milestone for group Carter’s Chord. The new six-song EP from Show Dog-Universal Music showcases the growth of sisters Becky, Emily and Joanna Robertson not only as recording artists, but also as songwriters. All of the songs on the collection were co-written by the sisters.
 
“We’ve been given the opportunity to take our time on this release,” Becky explains. “We have spent the last couple of years focusing on our songwriting, and finding out who we really are musically.”
 
According to Joanna, “We’ve always been surrounded by music, thanks to our parents (Carter and Barny Robertson recorded and toured with Waylon Jennings throughout the artist’s legendary career). We started performing and writing at an early age and learning piano and guitar. In fact, we’re still picking up new instruments and giving them a try. I’m now learning accordion and Becky is becoming really proficient on mandolin.”
 
Emily adds that the major focus on writing with each other and outside writers helped the group define its sound. “These last couple of years have been an intense study in who we want to be as artists, the kind of statements we want to make. What people will find on this EP is music that is fun, and hopefully at times thought provoking. There’s definitely a female viewpoint on a few of the songs. But I think they all have a definitive sound now.”
 
Wild Together was co-produced by Toby Keith and Mark Wright and will be available in stores and online May 24th. For more information on the band please visit carterschord.com.
