"Tre and I are huge fans of Conway and Loretta," said Lynn. "we adore our grandparents."
While performing Twitty and Lynn sing duets and hits originally performed by their grandparents. while they take great inspiration from their relatives Lynn tells audiences that the show is not an impersonation.
"We're not impersonators," said Lynn. "Don't come in there thinking you're going to see two people pretending to be Conway and Loretta."
Lynn said the performance is more of a journey as the duo tells the audience about Conway and Loretta and how they were as performers, friends and grandparents.
The group also involves the audience throughout the show making it interactive and fun for everyone who attends. Lynn said the duo loves the intimacy of smaller venues that allow the crowd to participate in the show. Both are extremely grateful to the fans of their grandparents who have accepted and welcomed them.
