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 parents have an beautiful home with a big pool. We’ve spent many an afternoon sitting by that pool, playing water-volleyball, listening to either bluegrass or Irish folk music, and simply enjoying one another’s company. Throw my old cat Stewart into the equation (the one-eyed cat; the one I gave up for Tyler), and BAAM, you’ve got a recipe for good memories.
Fried chicken you ask? Why yes. There just happens to be a place not far from Fort Worth that my dad loves. My mom usually only allows my dad to go to when we’re in town. Tyler, wanting me to be healthy, also usually only allows me to eat fried chicken when we’re visiting Texas. So both me and dad win, in a sense.
We’ve been playing house shows at my parent’s place for the past couple of years. Last time we had about 75 people and Stewart got pretty freaked out, so we’ve decided that it’s probably time to try out a Fort Worth venue (see below).
Waco people! Remember that time when it was 95 degrees out even after the sun had set and Tyler and I were playing under super hot lights and Tyler looked like he’d literally jumped in a pool by the end of the show? That was fun. No seriously, I’m not being sarcastic, it really was. And looking out at your beautiful faces singing along to the music, what a memory. We’re looking forward to seeing y’all again!
The first time we played in Dallas was three years ago with our friends Dewveall. It was little coffee shop called White Rock and six people came; two of them were my parents. Fast forward to our show in Garland (a suburb of Dallas) two months ago and we played to an enthusiastic crowd of 175. It’s incredible to watch the music grow, a true honor.
We’ve never been to Tyler, TX, but we like the town already because it bears one of our names.
