The Two Tracks are led by Julie and Dave Huebner, with songs that explore emotional and natural experiences of life in the American West. Since 2015, The Two Tracks have crafted four albums worth of original material and toured the around the United States and beyond, with music spanning a wide variety of sounds that both hearken back to the 70s sounds of classic rock Americana to something that is altogether new and unique. The band really cares about creating a direct emotional connection between themselves and the audience with down-to-earth themes, and powerful imagery in their music. Hailing from the eastside of the Bighorn Mountains in Sheridan, Wyoming, they have brought their joyful, unique sound to stages big and small, including Americanafest (TN), Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival (CA), Albino Skunk Music Festival (SC), Red Ants Pants Music Festival (MT), and NewWestFest (CO) among many others.
