It's not easy for artists who bend and blend genre to find a home. Musician and poet shirlette ammons knows that struggle first hand and has joined forces with her twin sister, Shorlette Ammons to do something about it. Shorlette is a former librarian and food justice advocate, and the two are now blending their diverse talents in SugarQube Records, a Durham, NC-based independent record label founded earlier this year. SugarQube supports artists often underrepresented by both major and independent labels. The sisters joined us live in the studio to talk about the label, sisterhood, the intersection of performance and activism, and shirlette’s upcoming album Language Barriers, which will be co-released by SugarQube and Churchkey Records in February. Songs Featured: Earth Intro - shirlette ammons ft. Indigo Girls Language Barrier Segue - shirlette ammons ft. sookee Take a Chance - shirlette ammons
