Rising US songstresses Everlife delighted young fans at the Cornerstone Church as they performed as part of their UK tour.

The three young sisters - Amber, Sarah and Julia - met to a rapturous welcome at the Kilwinning venue last week and are pictured with some of their fans.

It all started on a winter morning in late 1997, just outside the small town of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Three young sisters made a pact that would determine the outcome of the rest of their lives. That pact has been ever-reaching, ever-evolving, and those three sisters are now known as EVERLIFE.

These self-taught musicians and songwriters were originally inspired by the honest rock guitars blasting from the FM radio of their Dad"s Suburban. 'I remember looking forward to driving around with Dad, because we"d immediately crank up songs like 'Pinball Wizard 'by the Who, or sit silently in the back seat appreciating Pink Floyd"s 'Comfortably Numb' or trying to wrap our minds around the entirety of Skynyrd"s 'Free Bird',' Amber (23) recalls.

'Our Mom was crazy about 50"s and 60s rock"n"roll,' Sarah (21) adds. 'We would all be dancing around the kitchen belting out Chuck Berry"s 'Johnny B. Goode' and 'Bye Bye Love' by the Everly Brothers.' It was those tunes that introduced the girls to the impact of sweet vocal harmonies that they are now so well known for.

Since then, Everlife has played in 200 seat auditoriums and 20,000 seat arenas. And if it"s in the Ford Econoline (affectionately called Evan, short for Ever-Van) pulling a U-Haul trailer or a Prevost tour bus, they are just determined to get down the road to do it all over again. It"s their passion for music and their love for people that has kept them coming your way night after night - through small town stop signs and big city lights.
