“This was an incredibly rewarding and emotional project for us. We had tried for years to find a time that made sense and it was difficult. Things continued to pop up that prevented us from doing this – things like caring for ill parents, taking care of teenagers, and Doris and Diane both battled cancer- AND WON,” shared the Girls Next Door. “Finally, in what we consider to be God’s perfect timing, here we are – doing what we love with friends we love. We are ready for the ride!”Follow Girls Next Door on their Official Website girlsnextdoormusic.com.

About Girls Next Door
Vocal quartet, Girls Next Door, came onto the country music scene strong during the mid-80s.
Right out of the gate, the group scored a #14 hit on the Billboard charts with their first single, "Love Will Get You Through Times of No Money, Better Than Money Will Get You Through Times of No Love." They followed that single with the top 10 single, "Slowboat to China" which reached #8 on the Billboard charts. All in all, Girls Next Door charted 9 songs in their nearly 10 years together. They released 2 albums on MTM Records with West, and one on Atlantic Records with producer Nelson Larkin.
During Girls Next Door’s touring days, they traveled extensively with The Oak Ridge Boys, The Statler Brothers and Lee Greenwood. They also performed with The Judds, Randy Travis, Exile, Loretta Lynn and Sawyer Brown to name a few. If you ask the girls, they will tell you their favorite events were with the legendary George Jones at The Kennedy Center and with the Oak Ridge Boys at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Television appearances include The Today Show, Entertainment Tonight, and TNN shows – Nashville Now, Crook and Chase, On Stage, Hee Haw and Video Country. The girls also made several appearances on the Grand Ole Opry stage!
In 1991, Girls Next Door performed for the last time on Nashville Now with Ralph Emory. It was bittersweet, but these girls had no problem prioritizing family. Being with their husbands, children and parents was where their hearts were.
After 30 years, Girls Next Door is back with a new album titled appropriately, Girls Next Door 2.0 - NOW or NEVER, produced by H2 Productions, TW Hale and Tom Harding. The first single release is titled “What’s This Thing You’ve Got About Leaving” and right off the bat you will recognize their sound as if they never left. On this album, each girl is featured, but come together with those tight, bright vocal harmonies you know and love. In their 2.0 version, they are lively, fun, confident and entertaining. You won’t be disappointed!
The group consists of original members, Cindy Nixon Psanos, Diane Williams Austin, Tammy Stephens Smith and Doris King Merritt.
