Q & A

All-time favorite song?

02.04.19

"Gentle on My Mind" by Glenn Campbell.

How do you describe your music to people?

02.04.19

Our music is like folk, Americana and indie-rock, but also pop. Essentially, we hope that it will please many different types of music listeners.

Tell us about how the band formed.

02.04.19

Well, we're siblings, so naturally when one of us started playing, the other had to follow suit and compete. We both started playing at a pretty young age, and through all the sibling fights, we got along well enough to play together most of the time. We didn't realize back then how much we needed each other as musicians... and how much we've learned from each other.

Tell us about your best gig in Sac.

Probably the City Of Trees Music Festival with Radio 94.7. We had the absolute best time playing with our full band for the first time on such a big stage!

As a band, "Hold On Loosely" by 38 Special.

What's next for the band?

What's the story behind the band name?
