Backstory:
‘Bony Judge’ originated in the small town of Lubbock, Texas, where childhood friends Travis Mason and Jordan King discovered their shared love for music. They spent their after-school hours tinkering with second-hand guitars and writing lyrics in their backyards. Their unique sound caught the ear of fellow high schooler Anna Stilman, a gifted drummer. This trio quickly became inseparable, spending every spare minute crafting their sound, and ‘Bony Judge’ was born. Their music, deeply rooted in their shared experiences, aims to encapsulate the spirit of their small town while also touching on universal themes of love, loss, and resilience.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C]Underneath the Texan sun, [G] two hearts begun
[F]Dreams as wide as the open [C] road
[C]Strumming out our souls in tune, [G] beneath the moon
[F]In the town we’ve always [C] known
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing the dust, [C] under the starry rust
[F]Carving out a place where [C] we belong
[G]Bony Judge, we [C] stand, guitars in eager hand
[F]Our small-town hearts beat in every [C] song
(Verse 2)
[C]Anna with her drumming beat, [G] in the summer heat
[F]Kept rhythm with our youthful [C] dreams
[C]Together we found our voice, [G] made a joyful noise
[F]Echoing through life’s extremes. [C]
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing the dust, [C] under the starry rust
[F]Carving out a place where [C] we belong
[G]Bony Judge, we [C] stand, guitars in eager hand
[F]Our small-town hearts beat in every [C] song
(Bridge)
[F]Through ups and downs, and [C] twists and turns
[G]Our friendship, like a fire, always [C] burns
[F]In every note, in every [C] line,
[G]You’ll find a piece of yours and [C] mine
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing the dust, [C] under the starry rust
[F]Carving out a place where [C] we belong
[G]Bony Judge, we [C] stand, guitars in eager hand
[F]Our small-town hearts beat in every [C] song
