Like many songs on this album, Live By The Gun is another extension into the exploration of good vs. evil.  Not every song telling a story is about a hero in white. Reality is dirty. Gritty. But there is still a tale to be told there, and empathy and compassion play important roles in understanding our own humanity. The challenge with this song was pushing John initially in the direction of examining the path of a “bad man”, and the choices he made, and still leaving spaces for the listener to use their imagination.

Red dirt road trip is a song celebrating our love of red dirt music and artists that inspire us.  It is also a playful look at the hope and inspiration that current space travel to Mars elicits.   It’s our take on what a future trip to the Red Planet might be like...just singing good road tunes and sippin’ cold ones.

Our intimate interpretation of a classic from the Prince catalog.

Troubadours is a song about young love in a small town.  It is a story that relates two teenage kids searching for purpose in life, and how the music they love pays homage to their exploration.  Lyrical shoutouts to their favorite troubadours is a reminder about how the music we love resonates deep inside all of us.

El Wencho is a powerhouse duo with big sound that relates the Montana lifestyle through immersive lyrics, catchy melodies and driving rhythms. Their authentic music is an eclectic fusion of genres that draws on sonic elements from red dirt rock, blues, country, Americana and polyrhythmic Latin percussion. Purposefully inclusive, their music is a catalyst for storytelling, laughter and fostering connections with fans. Live shows are an experiential combination of their dynamic Montana sound, engaging storytelling and comedic flair. Josh and John are supremely talented musicians and entertainers. Together they form an authentic and charismatic duo that expertly connects with the audience and delivers an engaging and highly addictive musical experience.
