The ‘Monalisa Twins’ are a rocking team of female musicians who shred guitars and sing tight harmonies. Their performance of Chuck Berry’s ‘Johnny B. Goode’ is a fantastic rendition of the 50s classic!
The twins are joined on stage at a small club venue by bass guitar, drums, and a background vocalist. Their stage is plain, but their performance is high-energy! The lead guitar hits the iconic intro, and they start jamming!
The Monalisa twins are fronted by two sisters, Mona and Lisa Wagner. So their band name is quite fitting. They are based in Liverpool in the U.K., which has spawned its fair share of successful music groups.
They’ve grown a significant following by playing covers of songs from the 1960s from artists like the Beatles. Their Youtube performances are celebrated for their talent and musicianship.
The twins’ father, Rudolf Wagner, produces the music and plays bass and piano. All of their songs are recorded in their own Wagner music studio. Their love for rock and folk music from the 60s and 70s comes through in every recording.
Chuck Berry had a hit record with ‘Johnny B. Goode’ in 1958. It is considered the first rock song with lyrics about being a rock star. The famous guitar intro makes it one of the most recognizable songs in pop history and it is ranked 7th on Rolling Stone Magazine’s ‘Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.’
The Monalisa twins hit every guitar part and harmony from the original while adding their own flair. It is a fitting tribute to Chuck Berry’s song. The twins may gather some more fans with performances like this one!
