There is a word often used when describing rising Americana stars The Lovell Sisters: Passion. Its what these three young women—Jessica (23), Megan (19) and Rebecca (18)—feel when they step on stage to perform. Passion is the fuel that feeds their writing and arranging, and it colors every note they play and sing on Time To Grow, their forthcoming new album.

The Lovell Sisters, who have proven themselves time and again as polished performers, have been praised equally for both their virtuosic playing—Jessica on fiddle, Megan on dobro, Rebecca on guitar and mandolin—and their vibrant vocal harmonizing. They are scheduled to perform this summer at Bonnaroo, MerleFest and Telluride Festival, among others, all leading up to the July 7 release of Time To Grow.

The energy and spontaneity of American roots music that originally caught The Lovell Sisters attention continues to be an integral element of their live performances. Since 2004, they have toured throughout North America, and made three well-received European tours, with dates in Northern Ireland, Norway, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands. This music draws people together, observes Jessica. To see the enthusiasm people around the world have for traditional American music is really cool.

With Time To Grow, The Lovell Sisters share their passion for music with their fans, with their colleagues, and especially with each other. All three of us have different personalities, different strengths and weaknesses, concludes Megan. But we take care of each other, and our various strengths help lift each other up. As sisters, were very much on the same wave length and I think people can really see that in the way we interact on stage.
