Folk music sisters who never watched TV

HI there
I listed about a month ago, to these two beautiful sisters who were singing a folk song on CBC Radio Deep Roots. They were young, and apparently had also been on the Grand Ole Opry. When they were growing up, their parents kept them away from new technology, TV, and pretty well just radio and lots of music in the house. They did a different spin on traditional folk and it was lovely. For the life of me I can't find their names, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions ? I've spent hours upon hours looking through youtube music videos, and the internet trying to find them... Thanks a bunch !

I wonder if you are thinking about Lennon & Maisy Stella?

There are some YouTube videos of Lennon and Maisy at the Grand Ole Opry. In different clothes, so they must have done it several times. For example:
Ho Hey
A Life That's Good
Hard Times Come Again No More

And there are many other YouTube videos of them. Here are a couple of nice ones:
That's What's Up
Kiss the Girl

If these are the girls May is seeking, I didn't find anything to suggest they were kept away from new technology. They are from a family of musicians and entertainers.

They are also still quite young. According to Wikipedia, born in 1999 and 2003 respectively.
