How We Met
It all started in the summer of 2017, we both attended Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Thanks to some mutual friends (and probably a little festival magic), we met at the campgrounds of the festival despite being on completely opposite ends of the venue. Upon meeting, we bonded over our favorite songs no one else seemed to know, geeked out over past lineups and future festivals, and somehow discovered that our childhood homes were less than five minutes apart… and yet we’d never crossed paths until that weekend and it felt meant to be. From that first night on, we were inseparable and not just for the weekend. Eight years (and several more Bonnaroos) later, we’re still dancing through life together. That weekend sparked something truly magical, and now we’re bringing a little piece of that Bonnaroo magic back home to Memphis to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us! We can't wait to share this next chapter with all of you 🎶
