Hear It First: Reality Stars 'The Willis Family' Return With ‘Heaven’
After making it to the quarterfinals on America’s Got Talent and a reality TV stint on the GAC network, The Willis Family is back with a new series debuting on TLC on May 5.
The musical family that includes parents Toby and Brenda and their 12 children – Jessica, Jeremiah, Jennifer, Jeanette, Jackson, Jedi, Jasmine, Juliette, Jamie, Joy Anna, Jaeger, and Jada – has given Yahoo Music listeners a first listen to “Heaven,” the first single from their third studio album due out on May 19.
Eldest sibling Jessica, who is the lead singer and songwriter for the ensemble, penned 11 songs on the album influenced by Irish pop and bands including U2 and the Corrs. All of the members either contribute backing vocals or play instruments on the album: Jeremiah (guitar and Uilleann pipes), Jessica (violin), Jennifer (accordion), Jedi (bass), Jackson (drums), and Toby (piano, synth, and orchestration).
Originally based in Chicago, the Willis family relocated to Nashville 14 years ago to pursue their music careers.
