The Two Tracks, Patchwork Jack

Husband and wife Julie and Dave Huebner write songs that traverse the male and female perspective with emotional and natural images of rural American life. The band cares about lyrics, story, and the power of the song, and every arrangement is designed to fully highlight that direct connection between the song and the listener. Hailing from the eastern side of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming, the band has traversed the country bringing their joyful, unique sound to stages big and small, including Americanafest (TN), Deadwood Jam (SD), Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival (CA), MeadowGrass (CO), Albino Skunk Music Festival (SC), Red Ants Pants Music Festival (MT), Levitt Sioux Falls (SD), LevittAMP Green Bay (WI), Millpond Music Festival (CA), Schellraiser Music Festival (NV), Ashley for the Arts (WI), Beartrap Summer Festival (WY), Sioux River Folk Festival (SD), Music on the Mothership (NM), Oystergrass (WY), and The LAWN (CO). They have opened for artists such as Orville Peck, Eilen Jewell, Kitchen Dwellers, The Black Lillies, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and more. They recently completed their first international trip to Dubai for performances at the World Expo.

All seasoned musicians and good friends, The Two Tracks have knit their passions into a tight band family, and it comes across in their albums and on stage. Four-part harmonies are what really spark The Two Tracks sound, alongside cello and a tight rhythm (Julie-guitar, Taylor Phillips-bass, Fernando Serna- drums). The newest album "It’s a Complicated Life," which is their fourth studio album, is alive with vivid poetry. From deeply personal stories such as Julie’s “The Push and The Pull” recounting a divorce and Dave lamenting his mother’s passing in “Momma’s Gone”, to political tales of angst such as “Workingman’s Blues”, to simple reminders that we’re all in this together with “In the Morning’s” lyric “check on your friends please”, the

record speaks both to the moment and to the universal human condition.

"It’s a Complicated Life" was recorded over the course of five days at The Tractor Shed in Goodlettsville, TN just outside Nashville. It was produced by Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Rodney Crowell), mixed by Trina Shoemaker (Indigo Girls, The Wood Brothers) and engineered by Sean Sullivan (Sturgill Simpson, Molly Tuttle). Kimbrough also adds his multi-instrumental talent to the record with additional guitar, mandolin and Hammond organ. Dave’s brother Eric, an accomplished pianist that performs with the New York Philharmonic, makes a cameo appearance on “Momma’s Gone”.

While "It’s a Complicated Life" paints a rich picture of the rural west, at its heart it is an ode to the human experience. “This is an album about where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going.... these are universal stories,” says Dave.
