Backstory:
Austere Hose is a collective of five childhood friends hailing from the dusty roads of central Texas. They began their journey in a dilapidated garage, playing for the sheer love of music, bonding over their shared love of blues and rock’n’roll. Levi “Lev” Johnson (lead vocals), Ethan “Ethan” Miller (bass), Jenna “Jenny” Madison (drums), Tom “Boston” Boyle (lead guitar), and Sarah “Sally” Carpenter (keyboard), despite their diverse backgrounds, came together to form a unique synergy. From playing at local gigs to performing on significant stages, Austere Hose has grown amidst struggles and setbacks, transforming their music into a powerful representation of resilience and unity.

Title:
“Whiskey Lullaby”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the southern sky, [D] alongside the neon lights,
[Em] We drown our pain in whiskey, [C] surrendering to the night.
[G] You and I were fireflies, [D] dancing in the twilight,
[Em] Lost in a whiskey lullaby, [C] beneath the starlight.
(Chorus)
[D] Whiskey Lullaby, oh sweet [G] lullaby,
[Em] Whispering tales of love, [C] under the moon’s sigh.
[D] Whiskey Lullaby, we’re just [G] dreamers in the night,
[Em] Dancing with our shadows, [C] until the morning light.
(Verse 2)
[G] We found love in a bottle, [D] in the whispers of the night,
[Em] Amidst the echoes of laughter, [C] and the flickering lights.
[G] You and I were wanderers, [D] chasing the moonlight,
[Em] Wrapped in a whiskey lullaby, [C] until the dawn’s first light.
(Chorus)
[D] Whiskey Lullaby, oh sweet [G] lullaby,
[Em] An intoxicating love, [C] beneath the midnight sky.
[D] Whiskey Lullaby, lost in [G] the rhythm of the night,
[Em] Dancing in the moonlight, [C] until the morning light.
