Blue Hens make good music, look for support

The UD Alumni Relations Blog is always on the lookout for Blue Hens who are doing great things. Since we’re lazy we don’t look that diligently and we rely on the help of others to clue us in to the amazing work alumni do.

Avi Amon ’08 sent us an email the other day to clue us into the work of Jenny Somers ’07 and Tyler Somers ’07 who are in the midst of putting together their third full length album of music that a fan dubbed ‘soulgrass’ (soul + bluegrass, geddit?). Jenny & Tyler were on campus only a few months ago performing in Mitchell Hall, but now they’re back in Nashville getting ready to take the music world by storm.

Amon, who recently visited Jenny & Tyler, put together a video (he’s the one at the piano) so you, loyal reader, can get a behind-the-scenes look at what the duo is all about. Check out the video below – simply put, after watching it our heart grew three sizes seeing Blue Hens following their dreams and achieving them. Our advice is to get on the Jenny & Tyler bandwagon now so when they get huge you can dismiss all their new fans with such hipster classics as, “I liked their early work better” or “I remember seeing them in [insert small venue name] and it was far more intimate” or the like.

Also, check them out on Twitter so you can follow their day-to-day progress and show your support at their Kickstarter web site.
