Synopsis

The Toy Hearts are sisters Hannah and Sophia Johnson and their father Stewart. They play a mixture of original Bluegrass and Western Swing; carving their own niche between genres and combining elements of traditional 'Americana' music with a distinctly European edge.

They play live for Bob tonight and discuss their new album 'Femme Fatale' which was produced in Nashville by Grammy-nominated David Mayfield from Cadillac Sky.
