RAISING DAUGHTERS is a country folk music duo featuring Josette Axne and Hallie Riddick. The two met as students attending the National Theater Institute (NTI) in 2019. Hallie, a director, and Jo, an actor, found themselves working on a variety of projects together. However, it wasn't until 2020, when they returned to NTI as apprentices that their partnership as musicians began.
The Kentucky and Colorado natives now live in New York City and have spared no time launching themselves into the new music scene. The Daughters have taken on gigs at several of New York’s most iconic venues, and have met some amazing artists and collaborators along the way. Since moving to New York in 2022, RD has been working with producer, Jason Sill, and recently released their newest single, Nor'easter, this February. Their new EP, Petty Crimes, will be released February 2024.
