Daughters Of Willie Nelson And Leon Russell Form Americana/Country Duo; Share Debut Single Featuring Willie Nelson

ALeeN ROSE [AY-lee-uhn rohz] and Luna Wolf Records are charmed to present “They’re There” (Feat. Willie Nelson), the debut single from the newly-formed country/Americana/”Gospell” duo featuring Amy Lee Nelson and Tina Rose Bridges. Written with Nelson’s father, Willie Nelson, “They’re There” is an homage to Amy’s brother, Billy, and Tina Rose’s father, Leon Russell, and the spirits that guide us through life. “They’re There” releases today, May 12, in celebration of Billy Nelson’s birthday.

“Tina Rose called me one evening during lockdown and we spoke about the feelings of loss surrounding the death of her dad,” Amy Lee Nelson recalls, “I told her how I’ve found myself often saying ‘they’re there’ when speaking of loved ones who have passed. I shared with her a song that I had begun writing after having dream visions of my brother, Billy.” 

She continues, “I asked her to write the second verse as a healing outlet for her pain and grief.  I was blown away by the verse she brought back to me. But it still wasn’t finished and we weren’t sure where to take it. We asked my dad for help, and so he wrote the bridge. Now it is a full-on family song, as it should be.”

Tina Rose Bridges adds, “Amy’s verse, and the concept of the song in general, was so powerful and I was honored that she invited me to contribute to it. My verse is about a distinct memory I have — of the first time my dad visited me in a dream after he died. It was so comforting, and I genuinely felt as if I got to spend some time with him. It really is true that our loved ones lost are still here with us.” 

ALeeN ROSE is Amy Lee Nelson and Tina Rose Bridges. Amy and Tina Rose met way back when they were too young to remember, somewhere on the road with their dads, Willie Nelson and Leon Russell. They grew up on stage with their family bands and made their way down separate musical highways full of twists and turns that eventually led two girls back to each other as women. ALeeN ROSE is currently working on the final touches for their self-titled debut album coming in 2026. For more info, please visit ALeeN ROSE’s official website HERE.
