Colleen and Jennifer met in their late-twenties as fans of the local music scene in Middle Tennessee. They share an affinity for the musical genius of David Bowie. Colleen relocated from Tennessee to Arizona in May of 2017. Amanda and Colleen met in 2018 on a jetway in Iceland both on a return trip from Europe.
