When you have no inspiration, where do you go or look?
Outside in nature, or scrolling through Tik Tok.

Have you always wanted to be a musician? 
Yes! All of us pursued music at a young age and never stopped.

How does your hometown inspire you? 
The Colorado music scene was really rich with bluegrass music. Amelia also played in a youth orchestra in Denver. Laura writes about her rural hometown often. Erinn's hometown inspired her to get out and find country music.

How did you decide to follow the creative path you’re currently on musically? 
I don't think it was so much of a choice and more of a fate!

What is your performance style? 
We are energetic, loud and passionate. We play with precision and want to have music evoke a feeling. We aren't playing just to show off!
