The In Six Days Band is an acoustic duo based in Harlingen, Texas that came about as the merger of two separate and equally viable talents: One a young woman heading-up her own band which performed locally and even had local radio exposure; the other from a young man as a part of several bands which performed locally and across Texas.

Several years ago, their paths crossed, and they learned that they shared a common goal of performing music dear to their hearts. After a few years the couple married and they continue to perform together locally, sharing their unique style and personal interpretations on music from the 60’s and 70’s including R&B, Rock, and Country, and much more.
