“Lavendine has found a way to produce heartfelt lyrics that have a melody that is not only catchy, but feels smooth and influential. Lavendine has shown that as a band, they will not be placed into one musical genre.” - The Celebrity Cafe

Lavendine, the musical duo comprised of sisters Jacy and Jana Ayers, has made a name for themselves in the contemporary music scene with heartfelt, powerful songs that reflect their personal and artistic journey. They have garnered attention from outlets like American Songwriter, FAME Magazine, and Hollywood Digest, earning three Top 25 Adult Contemporary singles on the Mediabase and Billboard AC charts: “Rapture,” “Open Up a Window,” and “Here to You.”

Their 2022 single, “Finding My Way Home,” produced by Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Stevie Nicks), marked a pivotal moment for Lavendine. Initially a ballad, the track transformed into a high-energy EDM-inspired jam that returned them to the AC Top 25 and climbed to #2 on the Mediabase AC Independent Rankings by January 2023. The song gained heavy rotation on Dash Radio Hits and saw a 7,800% increase in streams on Pandora AMP. This success earned Lavendine a feature on Jim Brickman’s national radio show, further cementing their prominence.

Born in Liberal, Kansas, and raised in Oklahoma, Jacy and Jana discovered their passion for music at a young age, performing in church by the age of four. Encouraged by their mother, they convinced their parents to let them move to Nashville after two years of college. However, without industry connections, they faced producers more focused on marketing than their artistry.

They returned to Oklahoma, finding success in ventures like opening a day spa and hosting a popular radio show. Yet their love for music never wavered, leading them back to Nashville to reignite their dream.

The sisters faced significant health challenges along their journey. Jana was diagnosed with a tumor near her brainstem, resulting in 80% hearing loss in one ear. Jacy endured multiple surgeries, including one for an ectopic pregnancy. Despite these hurdles, they remained hopeful and resilient. Their persistence led them to connect with producer Danny Duncan (Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Amy Grant), who embraced their sound and vision. With his support, they rediscovered their confidence and reaffirmed their place in the music industry.

Jacy’s vivid dream of balancing on the back of a flying whale, surrounded by rising waters, served as a powerful metaphor for Lavendine’s journey. It reminded them of the Biblical story of Jonah—a symbol of emerging from hardship. This imagery inspired their upcoming EP, Deep Blue, which represents the most authentic music they’ve ever created.

Recorded at Los Angeles’ East West Studios and mixed at Nashville’s Lala Mansion, Deep Blue features top session musicians such as Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, David Bowie), David Levita (Tim McGraw, Alanis Morissette), and Jamie Muhoberac (Madonna, Seal). The project was produced and mixed by Mark Needham and co-produced by Brian Pruitt and Ed Seay.

The EP’s lead single, “City Lights,” embodies an energetic vintage rock flair, with lyrics that tell the story of finally coming home after being away for far too long. It captures the feeling of returning to a place that feels like home, full of nostalgia and relief. Other tracks explore themes of hope and empowerment, including “Waterless Cloud,” which addresses breaking free from narcissistic abuse, and “Diamonds in the Sky,” a song about leaving the past behind and reaching for a brighter future.

Their mission is clear: to inspire listeners facing challenges by showing that no matter the obstacles, it’s possible to achieve the dreams you hold in your heart.

“Wanna forget this pain and leave it all behind… I’ll be floating among the stars.”
