Jon Curtis and Lauren Mink
Jon and Lauren met in the summer of 2007. Lauren needed a band to open up for Rodney Atkins and Jon just happened to be in that band, Crosswind. They were the house band at Nashville Station in Winchester, KY. Jon and Lauren started playing acoustic shows at places like Saratoga, Malabu Pub, and of course Nashville Station. From there, they moved to Nashville for a while to pursue writing and music careers. They played at a couple venues for writer's and open mic nights, but eventually decided that Nashville just wasn't home. So, they moved back KY and took up roots in Georgetown. They are now the premier acoustic duo in KY! They play at Regatta, Rumor's, Merrick Inn, Sterling Saloon, Bonefish Grill and many more! They play in cities like Lexington, Nicholasville, Winchester, Mt. Sterling and many more to come! MAKE SURE YOU MAKE IT OUT TO A SHOW!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
