[Lead Singer] I didn’t really understand the whole idea of why bring American bands over or comedians or entertainers all that way? I’m sure they’ve got people in Germany. And now I get it.
[Male Band Member One] We are Sweet Siren from Minnesota.
[Male Band Member Two] It’s amazing, we get to do what we love to do and be able to bring it across the ocean, it’s awesome. We’re super grateful to be able to do it. Being away from their families and everything.
[Lead Singer] They’re limited to have any sort of feel of home.
[Male Band Member Two] It’s pretty incredible what they’re doing, so that’s why we feel so good to be able to do this. We’ve been able to see the joy that it’s brought and feel that. I get goose bumps just talking about it, thinking about it, because of the men and women that we’ve met so far have taught us a lot about their experiences here and we’ve all taken a lot in, and we’re gonna bring a lot back home with us.
