Sheridan's own The Two Tracks return to the WYO Theater to celebrate 10 years of music with the release of their fifth and most expansive and reflective record yet.
Rooted in the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming, The Two Tracks bring an energetic live performance with rich harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and a distinctive sound that sits comfortably between folk, rock, and roots country. Fronted by husband and wife Dave and Julie Huebner, with Taylor Phillips on bass and Fernando Serna on drums, their four-part vocals, layered instrumentation, and arrangements range from driving and cinematic to intimate and stripped down.
Over the past decade, The Two Tracks have toured extensively across the U.S., appearing at festivals including AmericanaFest, Red Ants Pants Music Festival, Kate Wolf Music Festival, Albino Skunk Music Festival, NewWestFest, MeadowGrass Music Festival, and Millpond Music Festival. They have also represented American roots music internationally with performances at the 2020 World Expo in Dubai.
The band is set to release their newest album, Seasons Unknown, a record that explores themes of change, uncertainty, resilience, and the passage of time, much like the shifting seasons that inspired its title. They continue to push their sound into new territory while holding tight to the spirit that first connected them with audiences. The result is an album that feels expansive yet deeply personal. They are kicking off their album release tour in Sheridan, debuting the new album alongside fan favorites from their catalog.

Benjamin Tod, a Nashville native and the former leader of the Lost Dog Street Band, says of his latest project, “Most of my career has been laser-focused on poetic, piercing songwriting in mainly a folk tradition. I wanted to prove to myself and the industry that I could write an elite country record with ease. Either way, if I didn’t accomplish that goal, I sure as hell came closer than anyone on pop country radio.”

Over the years, they’ve become pioneers in modern string music, with albums like Antifogmatic (2010), Who’s Feeling Young Now (2012) and The Phosphorescent Blues (2015) showcasing their genre-defying sound.
