Backstory:

Thorough Pride was formed in the vibrant heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2010. The group’s formation was a perfect storm of serendipity and sheer determination. The four members met at a local music festival, each coming from separate bands that had disbanded, and a shared love for music that spoke to their roots and the vibrant culture around them was what brought them together. Fueled by a burning desire to bring their unique sound to the world, Thorough Pride became more than just a band; they became a symbol of Southern pride, unity, and resilience.

The band’s members include Thomas ‘Thom’ Jennings on vocals and guitar, Oliver ‘Ollie’ Riddle on bass, Royce ‘Ro’ Mathis on the drums, and Hannah ‘Han’ Kennedy on the keyboard. Over the years, they’ve learned to harmonize their different musical backgrounds to create a sound that’s uniquely Thorough Pride. Their ten-year journey has been a rollercoaster ride, but one they wouldn’t trade for anything else.

Title:

“Bayou Dreams”

Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am
Down in the heart of the delta,
G
Where the sun kisses the bayou,
F
We found a rhythm, deep and slow,
C
A melody that’s true.

(Chorus)
Am
Bayou dreams, and New Orleans nights,
G
With the moon shining down so bright.
F
Playing the music of our roots,
C
In cowboy boots, under Southern lights.

(Verse 2)
Am
We’ve got the spirit of the South,
G
Echoing in our song.
F
With every chord and every note,
C
We invite you to sing along.

(Chorus)
Am
Bayou dreams, and New Orleans nights,
G
With the stars as our guiding light.
F
Strumming our truths, sharing our stories,
C
In this Southern, moonlit glory.

“I’ve been a fan of Thorough Pride since their early days, and I can honestly say that their music is like a love letter to the South. They’ve stayed true to their roots, and it shows in every song. Their music speaks to me on a deep level, connecting with my own Southern upbringing. ‘Bayou Dreams’ still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. It’s truthful, it’s raw, and it’s pure Thorough Pride. Their music is a part of who I am now, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
