Track45 (photo from Facebook)You’ve probably never heard of Track45. They’re a three-sibling band from Nashville, born in Meridian Mississippi.
They pull musical ideas from classic country, modern pop, and even the British invasion — this, as you can imagine, makes for a very different sound.
They’ve played at some pretty cool places too, like Dollywood, The Bluebird Cafe, and The Grand Opera House. Although their biggest venue may have been the Hollywood finals of the X Factor, where judge Simon Cowell fell in love with their sound.
“A ‘yes’ is a no-brainer,” Cowell said. “They took me completely by surprise, and I love this group.”
But that wasn’t even their biggest break.
First, let me start off with introductions. All three of them sing while Benjamin plays the cello, Jenna plays guitar, and KK rocks the fiddle. Their voices and harmonies just mesh so well together — must be the family ties.
Once Adele put out her newest album, “25,” the trio listened to it front to back. Instantly, the song “Remedy” stuck out to them. This cover will attract country music fans as well as Adele fans — it’s a win-win.
Track45’s music was recently featured in a movie called “Vanished” along with Ben Rector, among others.
They’ve also gotten the chance to play some music with Rivers Rutherford, who’s written songs for the likes of Tim McGraw, Brooks and Dunn, and Brad Paisley, among others.
They’ve covered other country artists like Keith Urban, Chris Stapleton, and pop star Justin Bieber.
On their Instagram, they talk excitedly about the songwriting they’ve been up to:
“Doing what we love and loving what we do…writing with the best! Don’s written songs for artists like Tim Mcgraw, Hank Williams and Kellie Pickler, and Tony’s won five Dove awards for writing and producing. Writing a great song is always a good feeling, but it’s even better when you write with people who know how to have fun while they work!”
These three are surely making a name for themselves with these covers, but they also write their own music. Their most-viewed YouTube video of an original song is “Blind” with over 5,000 views.
And, just for fun, here’s a bit of fun background on Jenna:
“You think you know Jenna? Well she might be sweet, and most of you know she can consume more ice cream in a week than just about anyone. But did you know that she is a fearless bug killer? That she used to scare all the boys in her karate class when they had to spar with her because she was so strong? That she is an expert bush-hogger and hay-baler?
“She also plays a mean game of tennis or ping-pong, and she can swim a mile with no problem. She never meets a stranger, and she would give her right arm for you, but do not make stray marks on her paper’s margin or nudge a domino out of line! By the way, it’s not her birthday, this is just a brag post ? We love you, Jenna!”
