Love and Chaos

Nestled somewhere between the beauty of love and the turmoil of chaos comes the unique sound from Texas artists and long-time co-collaborators, AJ Vallejo & Kendall Beard.

Both artists on their own, have quite an impressiveย resumeย of experience in the music world.ย AJ fronting his heavy-touring Sony recording act Austin rock band, Vallejo for over a decade touring with the likes of everyone from The Black Crowes, Matchbox 20, Stone Temple Pilots & Blues Traveler, and Kendall enjoying national success as a finalist on Season 8 of Fox’sย American Idolย as well as her own solo career.

AJ , being voted 3-timeย Producer of the Yearย at the Austin Music Awards, teamed up with Kendall after herย Idolย ย stint recording her 2 full-length albums. The studio relationship during that period proved to be so fruitful that the powerful songwriting duo came together as a duo project toย createย something new with an undeniable chemistry that carries over into each and every song.

On their debut EPย Love & Chaos, AJ & Kendall bring different styles to the table and somehow manage to consistently find middle ground as they create fresh & exciting music together. Their first single/videoย Ready For Warย ย mixes a funky backbeat groove w/ big harmonies, while their second singleย Wildflowerย (co-written w/ TX friend, Willy Braun of Reckless Kelly) swings Americana & roots-rock together effortlessly without sounding contrived. Chase those songs down with the destructo-comicalย Drive Me To Drinkย and you have one mean mixed buzz of guilty musical pleasures that clearly show the duo’s vast list of collective influences. Their upcoming full-length debut albumย Bless Your Idiot Heart (due Fall 2019)ย chocked full of radio-ready gems like the titleย trackย &ย Back To Good ย show strong promise already enjoying heavy radio play in their Texasย homeย state.ย AustinLiveย calls the band “Texas’ย musical Bonnie & Clyde, burning up stages one show at a time with their fiery, fun rollercoaster ride of songs about love, pain, sacrcasm & hope…this band has to be seen live to #embracethechaos…”
