Tell us about your experiences performing in Farmville. (They have performed at Uptown Coffee, The Fishin’ Pig, Third Street Brewing)
“Our shows in Farmville are always fun. The crowds are so friendly and supportive of us, the owners and workers at the establishments are so great, and we love getting to play there. We’ve been there enough that we have some friends and familiar faces we get to see when we come through, and we love that! Farmville has been a real springboard for our music.”
What has been your favorite part of performing/visiting Farmville?
“Honestly, there is something about Farmville that is just charming. Jeena and I agree that it’s a town that will surprise you with what it has to offer, and the people in the community. That’s our favorite part, it’s a lovely place.”
Do you have any advice for up-and-coming traveling musicians/bands?
“The thing we’ve found to be the most difficult with traveling to shows is the gamble on whether you’re going to have a good night, with a good turnout. And some advice we would give to other musicians is: Don’t get discouraged if a show you travel to doesn’t meet your expectations. Whether you’re playing to three people or 300 people, give them your best. Every show gives you experience and has something you can learn from!”
