The Twigs


The Twigs, aka Twigs, are twin sisters and musician/singer/songwriters Laura Good and Linda Good. Raised in Chicago, by way of Ohio and Mexico City, the twins are self-taught musicians who learned piano, guitar and songwriting by studying Beatles songs. Using their childhood nickname "Twigs" as their band name, the duo has released four albums. Their songs have appeared in film and television shows including "Love, Love, Love " in Cruel Intentions 3 and "Oh Mary" in Men in Trees. After being a well-known part of the alternative pop scene in Chicago, they moved to California in 2000, which launched their careers as songwriters and producers, and where the LA Weekly described them as, "...Silky voiced sirens with universal appeal." Linda toured separately as a keyboardist/backup singer with such notable acts as Jane's Addiction, The Mars Volta, Lisa Marie Presley, and, while still co-writing with Laura on Twigs projects. They released a CD of rock/pop songs especially for children, Jump Right In in 2013. In 2017, Laura Good was featured in a short film with musicians Daniel Carlson and Bark Benton produced by the Bouffant Collective. Their most recent project was writing the original musical, LadyShip, which debuted at the New York Musical Theater Festival in New York City in 2019. The Twigs are currently based out of Los Angeles and Virginia.

The Twigs Musical "LADYSHIP"

Linda Good and Laura Good wrote the music, book and lyrics for a new original historical musical entitled LadyShip. LadyShip was inspired by true events during the time when approximately 25,000 convict women were sent from England to Australia from 1788 and 1868 under the British government's Transportation Act — a supposedly more humane alternative to the death penalty. The musical follows the characters of two Irish teenage sisters, Alice and Mary, along with some of their fellow convicts, and how they narrowly survive the perilous journey. LadyShip was an Official Grand Jury Selection of the New York Musical Festival 2019, and made its debut in New York City at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theater on July 10, 2019.

Holcomb as Zeke Cropper, Lisa Karlin as Abigail Gainsborough, Brandi Knox as Mrs. Pickering, Quentin Oliver Lee as Captain Josiah Adams, and Trevor St. John-Gilbert as Lieutenant Brandon Adams.
