Tennis is a husband and wife duo comprised of Alaina Moore (vocals/keys) and Patrick Riley (guitar). This brand new outfit is based out of Denver, CO. According to Moore, the pair has only been playing music together since December. Spurred by a seven-month sailing trip the two took together on the Eastern seaboard, the couple, started writing songs as "sort of a soundtrack for our experiences," she explains. After meeting in college, the twosome pooled together money and bought an old sailboat in Florida. They hit the high seas until the money ran out which landed them back in Denver. Although the stories of the journey have now materialized as songs, music did not play a significant role during the couple's time spent sailing. Yet, when inspiration struck, music seemed like an obvious outlet for the two. Moore who was classically trained on piano and Riley had experience playing guitar in several bands. They do say however, that neither of them had anticipated returning to music. This is the "Cape Dory" off their debut album of the same title.
