And when I knew that I wanted to start a band with these folks, I thought about what I could do to kind of, I don't know, do something that's like a little bit of a sidestep from my name.

So Betsy Rogue.

then we got together, but we also said, Let's bring some instruments in, like play.

And then I feel like as soon as we sang together, it was like, We probably have to keep doing this.

Yeah.

After that, yeah.

You said, Would you like to do this again?

Yes.

Yes, We absolutely want to do this again.

Yeah.

Our voices sounded good together and our personalities clicked, so we decided to keep doing it.

And that was just over a year ago.

And so I know that what they hear and what they try out is a going to be great.

And so Hennepin County Jail is actually a great example of it's one of my favorite things that we do, that little instrumental section that you do because it came together so organically and yeah.

And I think as we go forward, we want to do more team writing and co-writing all together from front to end.

But it's tough because we all have kids and so we have to, we have to schedule it.

We need.

We need a band retreat.

Mm hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.
