____Bio:____

About 12 years ago, an 8-year-old girl by the name of Erin Fox picked up her mother's old and worn Washburn acoustic guitar and cried out, "TEACH ME" to her mother.

A couple years later, Erin had the basics and then some down, which led her to pursue guitar lessons with a more professional guitar teacher.
That's when younger sister, Katie, stepped in.

The two had spent many nights at dinner annoying their parents by having drumming competitions on the table.
Erin and her father noticed that Katie had a very naturally advanced sense of rhythm for her age (about 10 at the time).

By the time Katie was 11, her father had bought her a drum pad and a set of sticks just to toy with to see if she'd like it.
Needless to say, she rarely ever went anywhere without it.
So after inheriting an antique wooden set of leedee ludwigs from an uncle, she was ready to drum.

That year (2002), Mr. Fox started seeking out a drum teacher.
He had gotten a reference for a man by the name of Jim Cavanaugh (former RCA recording artist) from Erin's guitar teacher at the time.
Mr. Fox begged him to teach Katie.
Jim stated that he was pretty much done with teaching at that point, but dad just wouldn't take no for an answer.
So the whole family went out to a local bar to see Jim's band play.
Jim invited Katie up to show him what she could do.
Needless to say, she impressed him considering her age and lack of education with the drums.
So he did decide to give her lessons.

Not long into giving her lessons at their house, Jim somehow discovered that Erin was writing and playing her own songs.
Jim had always wanted to be a producer for a band, so he told Erin to come to his house and start recording.

They didn't have much to work with in the beginning, but that's how SugrHi began.

By 2006, they were on their second bassist and had released their debut album.

Later that year, there was some creative conflict among the band members, and the sisters were left searching for a bassist who was more like themselves, in the sense that they were very serious about their music and were ready to take things to higher levels.

Erin, Katie, and Jim auditioned a couple of different girls.
The very last to audition was Julia Tasca.
They had heard about her from a friend who did some photography in the past for them.

They had Julia play one of their less challenging songs, "Californ-I-A" after giving her only a few minutes to learn the chord progression and arrangement.
Needless to say, Julia pretty much nailed it on her first try.
They decided right there on the spot that this was the girl that they were looking for.

Julia had played guitar, drums, AND the bass throughout her childhood...so that was definitely a bonus for the group.

Erin actually booked a major show giving the band only three weeks to come up with a killer set and teach Julia all of their material. And that show was a success.

Now after two years together, the girls have been working harder than ever and are currently working on their second album.

Julia is sixteen years of age
Katie is eighteen years of age
And Erin is nearing twenty now.

Erin is a graduate of Methacton High School
Katie has less than a year left
And Julia has about a year and a half until she will be finished.

Once they are all out of high school, the girls hope to be touring and still taking things to the next level.

All of them are indeed special, and the music they make together proves it.

And there is still much more to come as time goes on.
