WCPO Lounge Acts's video: The Tender Things - How You Make a Fool WCPO Lounge Acts

The Tender Things perform for WCPO Lounge Acts. The hippie country group plays a new unreleased song called "How You Make a Fool." -- Inspired by country and bluegrass, Jesse Ebaugh of the Heartless Bastards uses The Tender Things as an escape from the Bastards’ blues sound. The group is fronted by Ebaugh, who trades his bass for a guitar and lead vocal duties. Ebaugh is also the group’s primary songwriter. Although Ebaugh’s sound with The Tender Things is a departure from Bastards' leader Erika Wennerstrom’s solo project, some similar sentiments remain. In “Ragged From the Road,” Ebaugh sings, “I’ll walk on through the night / Searching out for the light / In the window / So that I’ll know my way home;” a line which seems to echo Wennerstrom’s desire to find herself in her music. -- The Tender Things' Lounge Act was recorded on June 13th, 2019 in the WCPO Digital Lounge in Cincinnati, OH. WCPO Lounge Acts features intimate in-studio performances and interviews from outstanding musical artists. Mixed by Brian Niesz. Video by Emily Maxwell and Brian Niesz Hosted by Emmalee Smith.
