Nata, lead guitarist and vocalist, and Christina, or Tinka, percussionist and alternative vocalist, were raised in Cleveland, Mississippi. They have been performing together since their pre-teen years. While known as Southern Halo, they entered the 2014 Texaco Country Showdown at Eagle County Fairgrounds in Eagle, Colorado.

That exposure led to the immediate release of their first EP produced by Alabama’s Jeff Cook. The group put out two CDS, “Southern Halo” in 2015 and “Just Like in the Movies” in 2018. They were produced and songs were co-written by Gerald O’ Brien and Catt Gravitt.

Their Delta roots have shaped their musical growth. After 2020, the sisters started using American Blonde. With a new name and new producer Cliff Downs, the sisters released "Somethin' in the Water" on June 24.

The pair, now based in Nashville, have been touring throughout the United States.

Sisters Christina and Nata Morris of American Blonde will perform two shows in St. Johns County in early October.
