Introducing Maisy and Lennon Stella, from the television show Nashville, in a country/folk pared down version of the song Telescope. The same song was also performed on the show by Hayden Panitierre, the song itself about staying one step ahead of your man's wandering eyes. Both versions are quite good, but we are featuring this version with these two young sisters singing it. They are amazing, and have already performed at the Grand Old Opry, at 9 and 13 years-of-age! The earlier songs on You Tube by these sisters begin when the younger of the two (Maisy) was 7. And yes, the elder sister really is playing that guitar.
You may have first seen the sisters on the talent how scene on the first Season of Nashville. Reportedly Maisy sang for the audition to be part of the cast and they loved her. She told the creators she had and older sister whom she sang with and that was that, both sisters were placed in the roles of sisters.
Monahan's Song staffer Susan Spinella nailed this one early. The two sisters went viral on YouTube with a vocal only cover of "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn. They use a plastic bowl to tap out a beat. Between that video and Telescope, they have become a video sensation and the number of views are pushing 10 million.
Most recently, they did a cover of "Ring of Fire" to commemorate what would have been Johnny Cash's 81st birthday. It was recorded in the Ryman Auditorium.
We think the future is bright for the Stella Sisters. Here we are including "Telescope", but also "Call Your Girlfriend". There is a Nashville soundtrack if you want to own some of these tunes...
