Battle of the Bands: Tretura Takes the Stage

My regularly scheduled blog posts are interrupted to bring you this important message:

Welcome to the Battle of the Bands!

Please be patient—I’m about to become that wife.

You know… the Drummer’s Wife.

The one who suddenly knows the full setlist, starts talking about drum fills like she knows what they are, and

casually reminds everyone within earshot to vote for her husband’s band.

(Let’s be honest—if you know me, you know Matt says I’m a terrible groupie and an even worse roadie. That’s fine. I lean into it—maybe even wallow a little. Low expectations = fewer cords to coil. I'm here to keep it real. 😄)

Big news:

Matt’s band, Tretura, has been selected to compete in the KATT Battle of the Bands on August 2nd—and we are BUZZING.

Let’s talk tickets:

They’re $20, and yes—I’ll gladly take that from you. 😄

But here's the catch: you’ve got to show up in person to cast your vote.

And obviously, you’ll be voting for Tretura, because:

• You’re amazing

• You have fantastic taste in music

• And you know how to support a drummer—with style

• 
  

So come out. Enjoy some killer live music. Help us make some serious noise.

Let’s pack that venue, scream the loudest, and help Tretura steal the show (and the win).

Because behind every great drummer is: a wife with a blog, a playlist, and a pocket full of ticket stubs. ❤️
