In 2001, Dreamcatcher Entertainment released a duet with Billy Dean, Suzy Bogguss and Jillian titled “Please Keep Mom and Dad in Love” which debuted on the Top 50 Billboard Country Music Charts. Jillian formed a band with her three sisters during this time called The Little Women Band and began touring and playing all over the U.S, including a residency at The Bitter End in New York and state fairs all over the country. Jillian moved to Nashville, TN in 2010 and spent the past few years writing and recording new material.
