Singer-songwriter duo Patrick Walsh and Andrew Clarke began writing and performing music under the name Tennis Courts while attending college together in Charleston, SC. With a fluctuating lineup of local musicians, the pair made a name for themselves in the beer-lit basements and bars of Charleston with their raw and rowdy brand of hyper-caffeinated indie rock.
Soon after graduating, Tennis Courts relocated to Brooklyn, NY, where they quickly set roots and found consistent collaborators in guitarist Brian McKenna and producer Matteo DeBenedetti (Charlie & Margot, Flycatcher). In their new home, the band continues to work, play, and hone their craft. Drawing on a wide range of influences from Big Star to Big Thief, Tennis Courts sits comfortably on the fence between power pop glitz and alt-country gloom.
“Their earnest and schoolboy approach to crafting catchy rock music has garnered the band a following of musicians,artists,and locals looking for cheap thrills.”
“An utterly catchy and cathartic indie rock upheaval.”
