Evelyn Evelyn are a conjoined twin songwriting duo performing original compositions on piano, guitar, accordion and ukulele. With a circus performance background and an eclectic range of influences, the sisters play genre-bending songs full of humor, sadness and double entendre. Staring Amanda Palmer (The Dresden Dolls) and Jason Webley. Lyn and Eva Neville were born in September of 1985 on a small farm in Western Kansas. The girls are Parapagus Tripus Dibrachius twins, conjoined at the side and sharing between them three legs, two arms, two hearts, three lungs, and a single liver. Orphaned when their mother died in labor, little is known about their early life until 1996 when they made their first public appearance with Dillard and Fullerton_x0019_ s Traveling Circus. It was here that the _x001C_ Evelyn_x001D_ sisters developed their love of song and performance. Unsatisfied with the grind of circus life, at the age of nineteen the twins decided to explore a solo career. It was then that Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley, who heard the twins_x0019_ music on MySpace, discovered them. Webley and Palmer encouraged the twins and offered to help them record a proper album. A graphic novel about the twins_x0019_ inspiring life will accompany the album. It is illustrated by Cynthia von Buhler and published by Dark Horse Press. Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley (to whom the twins bear an uncanny resemblance) will be traveling with the twins for this special first Australian appearance.
