We know you want to know more about The Tennessee Werewolves so be sure to check out our interview with them below.
FBC: What made you want to get involved in the country music world?
TTW: Getting involved in Country Music was more of a come into one's own moment in life for us. We learned to sing & play our instruments to Country Music. However as musicians you have so many influences of what you've listened to. We grew up listening to Country Music & rock n roll. So later when we decided to go for it on a professional level & play together as a family this is just how we sounded. We're Country to the core, rubbed in rock n roll.
FBC: What do you use for inspiration to write your songs?
TTW: Most songs just naturally evolve out of us. Whether a melody pops in your head or you start writing lyrics. The lyrical content tends to be inspired by life, ours or someone else's. I think that's the reason fans love our music...it's because they can relate to our song.
FBC: How did you decided on the name “The Tennessee Werewolves"?
TTW: We're huge Johnny Cash fans, going all the way back to Johnny Cash & The Tennessee Two. The Johnny Cash song " The Beast in Me" is what inspired the werewolf aspect of our name.
