1. Backstory:

Trim Decision was born out of a mutual love for music and facial hair between four childhood friends in the hushed suburbs of Austin, Texas. The band includes lead vocalist and guitarist, Jake ‘Trim’ Johnson, drummer, Max ‘Stubble’ Stevens, bassist, Louie ‘Mutton Chops’ Nelson, and backup vocalist and keyboardist, Terry ‘Goatee’ Thompson. The group started their musical journey in Jake’s garage, playing for friends and family. Their deep-rooted bond, shared humor, and affinity towards their love for beards and music became the groundwork for their band, ‘Trim Decision.’

A chance encounter at a local barbershop with a talent scout, led the group to their first record deal. Their unique sound and raw energy quickly caught the attention of the music industry and beard enthusiasts alike. Since they hit the scene in 2018, Trim Decision has been leaving their mark on the rock and roll and beard grooming world, proving music and facial hair are a match made in heaven.

4. Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

Verse 1: [C] Woke up this morning, [G] beard feeling so blue, [Am] Picked up my razor, [F] didn’t know what to do.
[C] Looked in the mirror, [G] saw a scruffy old face, [Am] Needed a trim, [F] to keep up the pace.

Chorus: [F] I got the Barbershop Blues, [C] Oh, how I can’t choose,
[G] To shave or not to shave, [C] it’s a decision I can’t make.
[F] I got the Barbershop Blues, [C] Oh, how I can’t lose,
[G] My beard, my pride, my glory, [C] it’s more than just a story.

Verse 2: [C] Walked to the barber, [G] with my head held high, [Am] Sat in the chair, [F] and let out a sigh,
[C] Beard getting shorter, [G] with every single snip, [Am] Feeling the cool air, [F] on my newly trimmed lip.

(Repeat Chorus)

Owen, a barber himself, was drawn to the band’s unique fusion of music and beard appreciation. “Trim Decision goes beyond the music!” he exclaims. “They unite music lovers and beard enthusiasts alike.
