Americana Curious explores the artists, stories, festivals, and traditions shaping today's Americana music scene through in-depth conversations with the musicians creating it

Sometimes you can just tell that a band is on the verge of something bigger.

I caught up with Twin Fin backstage at their sold out show at the Charleston Poor house just minutes before they took the stage for what was their biggest headlining show outside of Hawaii.

Sitting with the band in the green room, you immediately get a sense of the friendship and chemistry that's fueled their incredible rise.

We talk about how a couple of coast guard careers, a move to Hawaii in a series of unexpected moments turned into one of Americana's fastest rising bands.

I'm Ben Fanning and my co host Zach Schultz couldn't join me for this one because he was up at the Newport Folk Festival.

Here's my conversation with Twin Fin.

Enjoy.

Everything I really want to do is out here on the west coast, south of San Francisco, lying on an empty beach with only me and you with.

The band Twin Fin.

We are sitting outside the Charleston Poor house and we've got Robbie Kelly who is lead vocals, rhythm guitar.

Tyler Schiller, bass and backup vocals.

Chase Dick Gregorio, the tremendous drummer, and Mike Bennet Lee, guitar and also backup vocals.

Did I get it all right, boys?

I did, yeah.

All right, first question, what does it feel like to sell out the Charleston?

Pow.

Feels like home already.

This, they're super nice over here.

The venue is going to be incredible.

It reminds us of some of our hometown venues that we usually sell out in Honolulu.

If we go to Honolulu, what venue should we visit?

Hawaiian Brian's over there on Capioloni Street.

Hawaiian Bryant's?

That sounds pretty good question for you here all.

If Nashville is where bands, Americana bands go to become famous, why did you choose Hawaii?

We actually didn't choose Hawaii to like start out the band in terms of like, we're gonna move there and make a band and start like with the music scene there.

However, I think because Hawaii is a place that everybody from around the world comes and, and you know, we all chose to live there for the lifestyle and all those other reasons.

It was such a perfect kind of little hub to then grow from because we had such die hard fans from the very beginning that almost even if we didn't know them, they became our friends.

And through that wider network of people coming in from all over, we have fans now who will go fly to their hometown show and we're playing all across the country and they'll show up and it's like a piece of, you know, the very start of this band in Honolulu doing their shows all across the country.

Wow.

Yeah, sounds pretty good.

What's special about that, too, is like, there's people from all over who are in Hawaii who finds themselves there, and it's like, just brings really cool people who are like, you know, it's at adventure, the ocean, you know, the outdoors, and.

And then there's a network of those people who are from all over the US and all over the country.

So we have little hubs like San Diego.

We, like, go there and we'll see, like, half of a Kauai grab there.

So it's kind of cool.

It brings us, like, it.

It has a big reach.

So it's like the culture of Hawaii and your band are intertwined, and you've built a community with that Hawaiian energy that spans oceans, spans continents.

Yeah, yeah.

It's the thing that is so special about Hawaii is there's this spirit of aloha over there.

And, you know, people think it's like some touristy thing that is, like a marketing scheme of the spirit of aloha's in Hawaii.

But it's literally how Hawaiians and everybody live their life over there is, like, with respect, kindness, and just like, a genuine appreciation for being together.

And I think that's what we want to bring with our shows whenever we come to a city.

Like, we want everybody to feel included, have a great time, and, you know, just be stoked.

I spent seven long days In a purple haze Metal woman like you out in Monterey, baby but her hair was short and her eyes were blue but the way she started dancing Made me think of you Anyway now you know I'd be stone cold sober but it's out of my control in your place there's a hope I'm addicted to your love but you handle it Let me go.

What's the hardest thing about growing your fan base from Hawaii, which is not known as an Americana headquarters yet for Americana music?

Chase.

This is Chase, the drummer.

Over there.

I guess in the beginning, it was hard to.

To kind of.

Well, it wasn't that hard to grow, like.

But for, like, people in Hawaii, there's a lot of reggae bands, a lot of punk bands and stuff.

And so we kind of were like, one of the first.

Well, not the first, but at the time, we were the only bands doing what we're doing.

And so to break out into, like, the local community, the local radio stations and stuff, that was a bit of a challenge.

We literally had to get the, like, top radio host to come to one of our shows.

To get him to turn the tide.

You had to prove it to him on the stage.

Yeah.

Were you Guys sweating that night or a little nervous when the.

When that radio host showed up?

Yeah, this guy's.

He's a shout out.

Big Koa.

Wait, Big Koa.

This is Robbie telling the story.

Lead singer, big co.

I think 98.

5 Is the.

The radio station, but he is the largest man I've ever seen in my life.

He's seven foot five and like probably £300.

And he's.

It's all muscle.

He's super built, but he is.

When he came to the show, I was like, this guy's insane.

But then he, like dapped me up and gave me the biggest hug, and I was just like, this guy is awesome.

And he was stoked.

He had a great time.

He brought his family.

So, yeah, I wasn't sweating after I met him.

He's a really cool guy.

And so you.

You had him.

And he's a big influencer in the music scene in Hawaii.

Yeah, I would say so.

I think we have this song with Kanaka Fire, which is a little bit more reggae called Land of Plenty.

Kanaka Fire is another fantastic band coming out of Hawaii.

And he didn't have to be playing it on the radio as much as he did.

He just heard it and started.

This is the first song.

First time I ever heard myself on the radio was from that song.

And he would play it like two or three times a day during daytime.

Like, it was.

It was incredible.

And what was it like to hear you hear yourself played on the.

On the radio for the first time?

Honestly, it was a little underwhelming.

I was like, I thought it would be super cool when I thought I'd, like, call my mom and stuff, but then I was like, I heard it and I was like, all right, cool.

I've heard this song a thousand times.

So good.

All right, so let's dive in for a second into the lore of the band.

As I understand it, Robbie and Tyler, you were playing in high school together, and then things were going, quote, so well, you decided to move to Hawaii, start working in the Coast Guard.

Yeah, things were going so well with our music that I. I changed career path.

Why the Coast Guard?

I joined the Coast Guard.

Actually, it's kind of a funny.

Not a funny story, but I had gone to college for about a semester, and I ran out of money really quickly.

So then I had to move back home when I was 19 or 20 years old.

And I was working the same job, living at home, all my friends were out on college, and I was just sitting there at my restaurant job One day, so upset, and I was like, you know what, I gotta get out of here.

So I was like, I'm gonna join the Navy.

And I went home and I told my mom that I wanted to join the Navy.

And she said, you should just join the Coast Guard.

Because my aunt was in the Coast Guard and I forgot that it existed.

So then I looked into it and I was like, oh, that's super cool.

Like, I think I'm gonna do it.

And that's where I met Chase, actually.

Okay.

He was stationed with me in Honolulu.

All right.

And so you did that for a while, but you did you keep writing music or how did things progress into music after?

Okay.

Because what I'm wondering is, did you at that moment decide maybe music's not going to be for my long term career?

We're just taking hiatus?

Well, I just.

I honestly never really thought that music could be a long term career.

Like, I was, you know, like, no one ever thinks that they could make music as their career, so I was just always doing it for fun.

But I always loved writing.

And, you know, my first duty station was in Oregon and it rains a lot over there, so I just spent my.

A lot of time just inside writing music.

It wasn't super good or anything, but I remember I would write a song that was.

I thought was pretty cool.

And I decided that, you know, the next.

The next place that I lived at, I would at least try to go to open mics and just play at bars for fun.

So it was, you know, started as a fun thing and then I would, you know, moved to Hawaii.

I started like recording these demos on my computer.

I would send them all to Tyler and I guess one day he decided that he wanted to come out and join me.

Okay, so you were still running keep.

So you had like a side hustle, so to speak.

You're in the Coast Guard, writing songs, playing open mics, and you would send these messages to your old high school buddy Tyler of, like, tunes that you were.

Yeah, because he was the only.

He was the only one that kind of knew.

He was the only one that kind of knew that I was super into that stuff.

So, like, it's like, well, look what I did.

He was the only one that would, like, actually listen to them.

And then he would like, be like, this is super cool.

Like, so it was cool.

All right.

So you had gone from Oregon at that point, then you moved back to Hawaii and you were sending voice messages, voicemails and music to Tyler.

Tyler, you had your life in California Why in the world did you.

What, what.

What was the spark and impetus to move to Hawaii at that.

At that point?

Well, it comes down to I visited him for a week over the Christmas break, so I definitely got to see.

A little bit of, like, that aloha.

Spirit that we're talking about.

And the lifestyle was obviously there.

But then he wrote the song My Ties, which is one of the first songs that we put out.

Okay.

And, you know, he's.

He had always written really, really great songs, like, even since high school.

We won high school band competitions and recording sessions and stuff.

So, like, he had always had a really good knack for it.

But at.

At that point when Mai Tai's came out, it's like, okay, this has got to be on the radio.

Not even, not even.

Because, like, it just other than the fact that people need to hear the songs and that I feel like that's kind of always been the guiding light for this band in a way too, is just like bringing the songs to the fullest and sharing them with people because they.

They live in their.

In a life of their own and they just deserve to be heard.

Wow.

So it was my ties that was the.

You're like, I'm packing my bags, I'm coming.

You're already there, and you decide to go and pack up, come back.

Yeah.

We.

We both lived together for the first year of me being in Hawaii, and we both didn't get our Covid tests back in time On.

On a certain time when we went back for Christmas, because he was in the Coast Guard, they had a strict two week quarantine.

Oh.

Like, he was not allowed to leave the house.

So what else do you do for two weeks other than sit in the living room and write songs and make demos?

The band at the time was called Platypus Priest, and it was really.

It was really just me and Robbie.

And then we bought Chase an electric drum kit because we lived in, like, a neighborhood house.

You had the electric drum kit from your mom.

And we would do these Taco Tuesdays because all the restaurants were closed.

So we would have people over at our house, like, literally every Tuesday.

And Chase used to play drums or something in college, and he hadn't played in, like, years, but he was like, oh, I could.

I could jam with you guys.

So we would jam and he would just play that electric drum kit.

Yeah, it started off.

Some of the.

Some of the first jams are on.

The North Shore, just like hanging out.

I was living up there during COVID and we'd like, hang out in the backyard.

These guys would bring acoustic guitars, and I'd have, like, the little box, the Cajon, and jam that have a fire.

And then.

Yeah.

Tyler was like, if I get a hold of a drum kit, would you want to be the drummer?

And I was like.

And I was like, I don't.

I was like, yeah, because I don't want to buy one.

And then next thing you know, that was, like, his Christmas gift.

I think that I don't.

I don't drum.

It was just like, I didn't.

I didn't have the 400 to spend on it.

And I was like, mom, instead of buying me something, could you buy the band something?

Italian guy, Chase Taylor's mom.

Thank you for buying drums for this band.

Yeah, yeah.

Seemed to work out pretty well.

Was there.

So it sounds like this thing came together very organically in this moment.

And I've been to the North Shore, Hawaii, and I can see where it's.

It could inspire great music.

Yeah.

Was there a moment when you guys were jamming or maybe even a live show moment where you felt like, okay, Twin Fin, this thing's gonna go somewhere?

Because initially, it sounds like you weren't really sure, Right?

You kind of had.

You were having your own careers.

Well, different directions.

It was for.

It was for fun, like I said, for such a long time.

But really, the first.

Our.

So our first show was at our.

Our friend's house in Honolulu for a Fourth of July party.

And there were so many people there, and they were loving it.

They were having the best time.

And I was just like, oh, my God, this is crazy.

I was so nervous, and I just had such a good time.

So we thought, okay, well, let's just book an actual show just to see who shows up.

I think it was 100 cap room.

And at Hawaiian Brian's, their small room.

And they.

I was so worried that we wouldn't.

We would not sell 50 tickets.

I was like, all I want to do is sell 50 tickets.

And we sold.

Oversold the show by, like, 100.

We had 150 people show up and people.

I didn't even know who they were.

And we've.

Honestly, we're not good.

We, like, weren't good.

We were all, like, drunk.

Chase was, like, fallen asleep from nyquil because he was sick and, like.

But we just had such a good time, and we were just like, I can't believe that that many people showed up.

And we just kept booking shows, and they just kept selling out in town.

And I think I Didn't even think then that we would make this a long term career.

But I was like, we definitely have something going on here if we can bring all these people together.

So that was that.

I, like, I really want to go to that bar with Hawaiian Brian.

The coolest places in the world.

Oh, man.

At what point.

So your band continues along, guys make some great music.

And then you make.

It sounds like you made a choice that, hey, we.

We need to expand our sound.

We're going to expand beyond 3, 4.

We were at 4 for a long time.

Our buddy Zach Wilson is our other guitar player.

He's been a firefighter since we've known him out in Honolulu.

So his schedule is pretty grueling.

But he makes every show that he can.

And he.

Back in the day, we would have shows on a Friday and be like, I have duty.

And we're like, well, we scheduled this thing like a month ago, so we can't really cancel it now.

So then we met Mike through some mutual friends and he's been playing with us since what, 20, 20, 22.

Yeah, literally since the beginning.

Yeah.

And when I first.

They reached out to me to fill in on.

On a gig and I played in before I moved to Hawaii.

I played band, like a band called the Bucks for a while.

And we always would throw these shows, like, at little bars, like dive bars, but they would be like kind of raging crowds.

Everyone would, like, be having a great time.

And I filled in for a show at next door in Honolulu with these guys.

And I had never met them before, but I, you know, I'd heard some of the music.

And after that show, that show was like, crazy.

The fans were like, rabid and.

And loved it.

And the energy was infectious.

And I was like.

And musically, like, stylistically, it was kind of like really, like.

Well, like the covers were like classic rocks and the songs and just great songwriting.

And it was like I sat in my car after, like, playing that show before I drove back to North Shore and was just like, this is.

This is it.

Like, this is.

There's.

Wow.

Yes.

I remember specifically sitting in my car and I recorded like the show on a voice memo when I was listening back, and I was like, damn, that there's something special here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we've had Mike on really since pretty much the beginning of the band.

Tell me about keys.

Why?

Why?

Because, like, when you think about sort of the impetus of Hawaii, your sound, you don't always think keys, but at some point you thought, hey, we need to add keys.

Yeah, well, Our first.

I guess it would be a first episode.

Yeah.

Our first ep.

The Band Aid EP we did in Manoa with a French piano player, awesome producer named Pierre Grill.

And he is an amazing piano player.

And every time we'd be playing any of those songs, he would just be noodling on his piano, like, to us playing.

And I'd be like, pierre, can you throw that on?

And he'd be like, no, no, I don't want to do that.

We wouldn't force him to do it.

He'd be like, dude, record your piano.

Because I'm super into, like, this, like, 70s sound.

And they always had, like, a, you know, a really awesome grand piano in it.

And so anyway, so all of our recorded stuff had piano on it.

We'd never had a piano player.

And Chase was either sick or was.

Oh, you're in Italy.

I had a vacation scheduled.

Yeah.

So Chase was in Italy for a show, and this.

We were like, we need a drummer.

So he put it on our story.

Like, anybody plays drums, hit us up.

And Zayn, our keyboard player's wife, or I guess fiance at the time, reached out and was like, my boyfriend is such a huge fan.

He'd love to play drums for you guys.

So he comes over, we do a practice, and he's a great drummer.

He drums for a band called Wicked Reef in Hawaii.

And we're like, cool.

This is sick.

We get done.

We couldn't play drums after a certain time.

But then we're just jamming, and he just pulls up on our keyboard and starts, like, perfectly, like, there's some piano players who can't jam.

And he was totally just jamming with us.

And I was like, you play piano?

He said, yeah, this is my first instrument.

And, like, you're.

You're playing piano with us now.

So I kind of decided for him.

A couple years ago, and that was the day.

That was the day.

And since then, we've got him a percussive setup so he can do his drumming.

He's got some congas.

A shake.

Yeah.

Tambourine.

Some shakers.

Oh, man.

So.

So cool.

He brings.

He brings such a life to the show as well.

He's just a goofy dude and really into, like, bringing people on stage and stuff like that.

He might be one of the better musicians overall, too.

He just, like, you know, the way his brain is wired because he plays guitar, drums, keys, and the percussion stuff, like, it just.

He's really well rounded, and having him in, I feel like it's one of those situations where you Play with people who are better than you, you get better.

And I think because of him, because of Mike, I mean, we all just kind of.

I think we all fed off of each other.

And, like, we're also now at a point where Robbie was saying, the first show we sucked.

We really did.

Like, we were not professional musicians.

And now I feel like we can all kind of look around and be like, okay, you know, now you're selling.

Out shows, putting smiles on people's faces.

Well, I didn't understand why people were buying tickets, because I was like, we're not good, but no, we got better.

Survive, basically.

It sounds like you'll come a long way since then.

Yeah.

And.

And I sense a real feeling of commitment from.

From each of you, but to the band and each other, what's something that each of you had to sacrifice to.

To be part of the band?

My sanity.

Sanity.

No, I'm just kidding.

Yeah, just time with, know, people, girlfriend, family, time in Hawaii, honestly, is, like, a huge one.

That.

That does suck.

Not, you know, surfing every day, But.

But it's like, you know, I think we're all just so in it.

And we know that if we're putting in the work now, it pays off a bunch in the future.

So I think some of the sacrifices are like, you know, we're traveling the country, we're surfing when we can.

We're playing music with people, we're bringing joy.

Like, we feel an absolute sense of joy with.

Not only on stage, but within the crowd, you know, and it's like those sacrifices don't seem as painful when all of the payoff is.

Although we're not, like, making money right now necessarily, you know, But.

But the fact that we can do this and not have to pay out of our pocket too, to, like, have these crazy experiences that not very many people get to do.

Like, not very many people get to sell shows out in a place they've never been.

And that's just exciting.

So the sacrifices are always worth it.

But the sacrifices are, I mean, countless.

Like, you're working, like, 24 hours around the clock on tour.

Yeah.

I mean, we both got out of the coast guard summer of 23.

He wanted to.

That was his plan the whole time, was to get out, go to college.

And I didn't want to get into another contract, and I also didn't want to transfer, and I wanted to.

We had nothing going on to say that the band would take off, but I was like, I want to be flexible in case something happens.

And I wanted to stay In Hawaii.

So I was like, all right, whatever.

So left a steady paycheck and started sacrificed income, started working on a tour boat.

And yeah, I mean, this, I think the sacrifices are like, sleep, diet on the road.

But, you know, it became bigger than just us making music.

People come to the shows and all these songs mean different things to different people.

And you know that that's the biggest thing.

It's like where it's not, it's not about us anymore.

It's about the people that come to the shows.

So it's like any sacrifice we have to make, you know, it's well worth it.

Yeah.

We were in Chicago and this, this, these two, they must have been like 14 or 15 year old boys with their uncle came to the show and we were just hanging out outside of the, the RV before and they asked to take a picture and they were so psyched.

And one of them was like, yeah, we discovered you on our family trip last summer and we listened to you the entire time we're on the family trip.

And like, it just brings back so many memories of like being with my family.

Oh, and I just love your music.

And he said the same thing after the show.

He said, I was sitting there watching you guys playing.

I just brought back that trip to me.

And I was just like, I almost cried.

I was like, that's super cool that people like feel like that.

Thinking about the road here in Charleston.

Have you surfed at Folly beach yet?

Yeah, we just got here.

Will you surf at Folly beach while you're here?

Maybe not this trip, but someday I would like to.

Yeah, someday for sure.

The waves are a little smaller than you're used to.

What's starting to be crazy is like, places we go now, there's all these wave pools and so, so, you know, like we surfed in, in Virginia beach at Atlantic Park.

We've surfed Waco, Texas and we're gonna surf in Phoenix, Arizona.

So it's kind of funny, you get, you get, you're getting sold beachfront property in New Mexico.

But like, you know, that's starting to change and that's actually really beneficial to us because we can, you know, go in and get three days worth of waves in an hour.

You feel like you've surf for three days?

Oh, yeah, my back feels like a day.

Yeah, we had a huge session yesterday.

Chase Got what, 28 waves?

Yep, 28 an hour.

I was thinking like on North Shore, prime season, that could take three days to get that many waves.

If the bros are now.

Well, yeah, all Right.

So starting to move on to sort of our latter part of the interview here.

What should people expect when they come see Twin Fin perform live?

You just expect to have a really good time.

Like, you know, whether you're California sober and you don't drink or you're, you know, you like to throw back some beers with the boys, you're gonna have the best time at our shows.

And we really do pride ourselves in that.

Like, people walk away with the biggest smiles in their faces and whether or not they know the music.

Like, people will bring friends that don't know our music, and the friends will walk away being like, you guys are my new favorite fan.

That was such a fun time.

We like to just, like, always have covers in that that span the generations.

Like, we do modern stuff.

Like, we cover Olivia Dean sometimes, but then we also cover the Grateful Dead.

We cover, you know, sublime.

We cover things that just, like, are fun, have inspired us on our musical journey and that people can sing along to.

Because, like, have you been to a show where you've.

You've gone to see a band and they.

You really only know one or two songs, and so you're kind of, like, struggling through it just to get to the one or two.

I try never to let that be the case for me.

I do my homework.

But, yes, but that's.

That's what we.

We just want people to have a good time again.

It's not necessarily about, like, it's not about us anymore.

You know, it's about giving an experience to the people.

And I feel like always throwing in new covers and jamming and having fun and mixing those in with all the originals just, like, gives a really unique and unique experience.

What's one thing you would like fans to start doing at your shows, and what's one thing you would like them to stop doing at your shows?

You got it.

Well, to stop.

I mean, the other day.

The other day in Virginia Beach, I guess a couple guys got too drunk, and one of them decided to give the bouncer a titty twister.

And he got thrown out, shoes went flying, hat went flying, full yard sale.

And then wound up ending the night in the back of a police car after getting pepper sprayed.

So we stopped that.

Okay.

You could start twisting my titties.

This will be a new.

A new part of your stage performance.

Actually, don't do that, please.

Yeah, I think just.

You honestly have to stop buying chase shots, because if you get him too drunk, he can't play anymore.

But, like, one.

One shot's great.

One shot's great, but, like, buying a musician four shots while they're performing.

Like, people will be, like, handing me a shot as I'm playing bass.

I'm like, I'm a little preoccupied here.

Like, I can't.

I kind of can't just stop playing and just take this shot.

So, yeah, we have beers on stage.

We're set, like.

And we also know ourselves, like, we.

We like to get a little buzz, but you.

If you push it, then again, it takes away from the show.

Yes.

It's not what we want to, like, put out there.

Yeah.

Mike, do you have anything you want them to stop or start doing?

I mean, I would say we have, like, a lot of friends who.

First, for shows that we know that are going to be, like, more packed and sell out.

That, like, they know this.

And they're like, they won't.

They'll be like, wait till the very last minute till it's sold out.

And they be like, oh, can you.

Can you guys get us a ticket?

It's like, yes, there's no more left.

Yes, I want to get you a ticket, but I cannot.

Yeah.

So when people walk away from the show tonight at the Charleston Poor House, what is your hope for them in terms of what they would have experienced?

Just like we've been saying, I hope they have a big smile on their face and as they chat us up at the merch table, and the vibes are high and they.

What's been cool is some of these shows, people come up and.

Well, actually, most of them, they come up and they're like, this was the best show I've seen, like, ever.

And I'm like, oh, that's crazy.

Wow.

Thank you.

Even the best show I've been to.

All right.

But.

So I said that was gonna be the last part, but I do have a couple more.

The album songs I never wrote.

That is a confusing title.

Yes, because we did write.

We did write.

Because you wrote all these songs.

What?

At the same time.

We never did.

Like, they never were written.

Yeah.

Yeah.

These are the songs.

These are the songs that we had never previously written.

Maybe that's a better.

Maybe that's a better title.

No, it comes from.

It comes from a line in California Sober that Tyler wrote.

That's.

Here's the songs.

There's a song you always wanted.

It's the one I never wrote, which we just thought was a really cool line.

And I think Zayn was the one who.

Because Zane does a lot of our artwork and he was putting together the album Art.

And I think he was the one who suggested that lyric as the.

The name of the album.

And it just fits.

And you know, I think it really does encapsulate the.

The entire project really well.

Well, it's a tremendous album.

Thank you.

You guys have hit it out of.

The park on that.

I've really enjoyed it.

I just got back from a trip, a couple week trip to Italy and I was listening to Yalls music a lot and so I guess that goes well with the Dolomites in Italy.

I don't know.

But really, really good stuff.

Yeah, everyone's saying that.

How'd you like the Dolomites?

Yeah, how'd you like the Dolomites?

Dolomites were great.

Yeah, it's kind of unexpected, Italy, you know, it's like lots of mountains and not a lot of pasta and a lot of different kinds of food.

And so we got Zane.

How's that?

The Dolomites.

And we needed a drummer to fill in.

Is it.

You're at the Dolomites for that?

Okay.

All right.

Well, I guess it's.

It's the place to be right now.

Yeah.

So with it.

With that in mind, thank you all for joining us on Americana Curious.

Excited to share this with our listeners and what is the game plan for the rest of the year?

Y' all are going to be touring?

Yeah, kind of touring non stop almost.

And we are working on our next record.

We have a lot of really, really awesome songs.

I think some of the best stuff we've ever done come everyone's way.

So we're in between all the touring, we're off in la, also recording, so.

All right, stay curious, everybody.
