Comprising siblings, Zachary (on lead vocals and guitar) and Caleb (on drums), and childhood friend, Milo (on bass), the band has been a staple in the local rock scene since their formation in the summer of 2014.

“Sunset Silhouettes”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Am Em
In the heart of Texas nights, we used to play,
F C
Strumming chords beneath the milky way,
Am Em
Through dust and sweat, we’d find our tune,
F C
Beneath that golden El Paso moon.

[Chorus]
G Em
Sunset silhouettes, oh, how could we forget,
C D
Those were the best days we’ve had yet,
G Em
With our guitars, drums, and a simple bet,
C D
Creating stories in sunset silhouettes.

[Verse 2]
Am Em
The echoes of our songs, they fill the air,
F C
A melody, a memory we used to share,
Am Em
The rhythm of our hearts, a steady beat,
F C
In sync with the music, oh so sweet.

[Chorus]
G Em
Sunset silhouettes, lost in a cassette,
C D
In the heart of Texas, where we met,
G Em
With dreams and music, no regrets,
C D
Living life in sunset silhouettes.
