Companion (formerly The Annie Oakley) is an indie folk band fronted by identical twin sisters Jo and Sophia Babb.
The sisters combine immaculate harmonies with intimate storytelling, touching on the most human of elements in their writing. Jo & Sophia began their journey with songwriting after the death of their father at a young age.
Companion has fought hard for happiness. At just 23-years-old, the sisters had faced a decade of darkness. Then they built lighthouses.

Companion?s official debut, Second Day of Spring, is a towering beacon: a victorious indie-folk record that further introduces two brilliant songwriters with mesmerizing harmonies, offering the rest of us comfort in treacherous corners.
?A lot of this album is rooted in healing from familial hurt,? says Sophia. ?There are songs about marriage, grief, mistrust, and healing." Hope cracks through early songs on Second Day of Spring like grass growing in sidewalks, before sprawling out into lush meadows by the end of the record.
When asked what they hope listeners experience, Companion offers wishes of beauty:
?We want them to hold the beauty of the world??to experience the feeling of 'There is still beauty, even amidst all the darkness'?
