Good afternoon, Tyler here. This (part 2 of how we write songs) is long overdue. Part 1 is here: http://jennyandtyler.com/how-we-write-songs-part-1. I’m going to jump right in. When I started writing songs, I didn’t have a clue about music theory; sometimes I still wish I didn’t. The danger of music theory is that it has the …
In short, it’s because of Jenny’s parents, Stewart the one-eyed cat, and fried chicken. Let us explain. We like Texas, a lot. My parents moved to the Ft. Worth area about 4 years ago; up until then, I’d never been to TX, ever. But over the years, we’ve come to thoroughly enjoy it. My(Jenny) amazing …
Guys, I’m really excited. I mean, really, really excited. We spent the past year touring and traveling. We explored big cities and small towns, and made lots of new friends along the way. And we were met with indescribable beauty. From the electric pinks and oranges of a sunset on the West coast to the …
Hello friends! Once again I apologize for my less than faithful writing. I hope to make up for it with this post. Get prepared to discover some fantastic new music. About a year and a half ago we played a show at Grace Church in Dover, DE. An acoustic trio of siblings opened the evening …
We’re happy to announce a show at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA on Wednesday, August 29th. We’ve got the entire set to ourselves, so we imagine we’ll have plenty of time for things like storytelling, taking requests, meeting/greeting, you know, the good stuff. Also, we may be recording the night to release as our next …
Background Tyler and I often receive emails from aspiring songwriters asking how we go about writing. While we try to answer each email, it is difficult to give every one the attention it deserves. I’ve decided to address the question here. Let me begin by saying that we definitely do not have this whole songwriting …
Well the theme of July has been “family vacation!” I am not at all complaining. I love my family, and I love Tyler’s too. I am very happy to be a Somers. We spent a week in TX with my family to celebrate my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. My parents decided to renew their vows …
I met Tyler in August of 2004 at the University of Delaware. I was 18 and a freshman at the time. I didn’t expect to go to college and meet my husband. I wanted to, but I didn’t expect it. I certainly didn’t think it would happen a few days after moving into my dorm …
The fourth of July may not be the best day to blog. Most of you are probably outside swimming in pools, grilling, and being with family. But we have an 11 hour drive to Texas, so I’ve got time to kill. Maybe late tonight when you’re recovering from eating all of that food and applying …
I was the new kid a lot growing up. My dad was a pilot in the Air Force for 24 years. He retired a couple of years ago and makes guitars and mandolins now. Quite the change, I know. Due to his job we moved about every 3 years. I was born in NY state, …
