Michael Keaton, Barbara Streisand & Steve Martin Are All Discussed: A Conversation With Tennis

5/16/14

For years Tennis has been making lovely indie pop that harkens back to the groovy times of the 60’s and 70’s, but rather than focusing on psychedelic jam outs Tennis has brought us beautiful songs with melodies that caress the heart and soothe the soul.
