Most people think that country music is firmly seated on Music Row, or down in the Broadway bars of Nashville, TN… If you’re one of these folks, I don't mean to shatter the illusion, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Country music is on a farm in the seat of a combine tilling the Oklahoma soil. You could hear it on the Oregon high desert plains touching the mountains. Yes, country music exists and is deeply rooted exactly where you’d think it’d be… out in the country.

We converged the Oklahoma and Oregon country roots together in a garage out in Madison, TN. It may not be what Music Row or Broadway is trying to sell as “country music,” but that’s just fine by us; they can keep it, we’re making real country music.

Hi, we’re Cole Tolle and Brett Penington, and this is our country album Covering Rent. We hope you enjoy!
