“It feels incredible to be able to put out my debut EP,” says Bandi. “I’ve been saying since I moved to Nashville that we were going to have something out and to be able to do that and have songs that I feel so passionate about is a feeling that I can’t even really describe. I am so excited…so pumped…and I cannot wait for ya’ll to hear it.”
