They’re not just musicians, they’re storytellers and together, they are a true picture of the relentless pursuit of following a dream and making it a reality; but their dream doesn’t stop with them–it’s extended to their family and fans and everyone they meet.”
“When you’re on the road as much as we are, time spent at home starts to feel a lot like vacation,” Abner and Amanda added. “We decided early on that we want to spend as much time together as possible…so when we go on tour, we all go on tour. We’d be lying if we said the idea of traveling the country with your bandmates, a four-year-old and a 12-month-old wasn’t a little bit scary, but it’s all we know. No matter what, we’re going to make home on the road.”
The band holds a special place in the Gaines' heart as they revealed they conceived their fifth child after a Johnnyswim concert.
