Backstory:

Petty Custom is a band that was formed in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2007. The founding members, Jake and Tommy, met at an open mic night at a local bar. They connected over their shared love of music and decided to form a band, and shortly after, they welcomed Emily, a classically trained violinist, and Mike, a self-taught drummer. Their diverse musical backgrounds blended together to create a unique sound that’s been captivating listeners ever since.

The band spent the initial years performing in small bars and local music festivals, gaining a dedicated following with their electric performances and heartfelt lyrics. In 2012, they got their big break when they were discovered by a music producer at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Since then, Petty Custom has released three successful albums and toured the world, sharing their unique sound with a broader audience.

“Shadows & Light”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G
Underneath the willow tree,
D A
We confessed our dreams so bravely.
Em G
Caught between shadows and light,
D A
We danced till the dawn of the night.

(Chorus)
C G
In this dance of shadows and light,
D Em
We find love in the darkest night.
C G
Caught in the rhythm, we take flight,
D Em
In the dance of shadows and light.

(Verse 2)
Em G
Hand in hand, we journeyed far,
D A
Guided by the northern star.
Em G
We found laughter, tears, and fight,
D A
In this play of shadows and light.

(Chorus)
C G
In this dance of shadows and light,
D Em
We found hope in each other’s sight.
C G
The music keeps playing, so we might,
D Em
Dance again in shadows and light.
