Today for Unsigned/Indy Artist Thursday, the spotlight falls on a trio of sisters from Mississippi who's fan base is steadily growing from Atlanta, GA to San Diego, CA and from the Mississippi Delta to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Natalia, Christina and Hannah Morris, collectively known as Southern Halo, were born and raised in the Mississippi Delta and they bring a true Delta sound to modern country music. The sisters have generated an exceptionally interesting sound which is both raw and heartfelt.

Each of the girls brings her own taste and unique individuality to the band with rock, pop, country and blues influences, and they have become a very well received, finding their performances popular at festivals and venues throughout the Mississippi Delta from Memphis to New Orleans.

Natalia, 18 years old, is the gifted guitarist, keyboard player and lead vocalist. Christina, 16 years old, is the talented, hard rocking drummer and also takes the stage to lead Etta James style songs with her soulful voice. Hannah, 15 years old, is the classic hippie chick. She is the band's Bass player and percussionist and has a special spark that keeps the others on their toes.

The girls grew up listening to anything southern rock, country and blues and site influences as diverse as Pistol Annies, Rascall Flatts, Taylor Swift and Lincoln Park. They have self-produced their self-titled, 10-song debut album, with songs as diverse as the Morris sisters themselves. The lead single is in our spotlight today. Southern Halo and "Little White Dress" is our Unsigned/Indy Artist Thursday Catch of the Day; new music you haven't heard, but you'll want to hear it again.
