Sweethearts Only

Description

The Sentimental Family Band, a trio from Austin, Texas, pays heartfelt tribute to 1950s and 1960s classic country with *Sweethearts Only*. Composed of Camille Lewis, Kyle Albrecht, and Matthew Shepherd, the band draws on its Texan roots to offer music that is both timeless and respectful of the genre's standards, with original compositions that blend seamlessly with classic repertoire. After starting out in indie rock and experimental projects, the three musicians naturally gravitated towards country, reconnecting with the simplicity and beauty of the style. Their regular presence in Austin's famous bars, such as The White Horse and Sagebrush, allowed them to hone their craft and write songs perfectly suited for two-stepping, skillfully blending tradition and modernity. Produced by Billy Horton, known for his work with Charley Crockett, *Sweethearts Only* authentically recreates vintage sounds, from Floyd Cramer-esque piano to delicate steel guitars. Without falling into the visual clichés of retro bands, the Sentimental Family Band seriously and freshly embodies the growing vitality of Austin's country scene, confirming its role in this musical renaissance both locally and internationally.
