“What?! That’s awesome! I’m shaking,” Jenna Walker said upon hearing the news. “That’s the biggest compliment you could ever ask for.”

“It’s so cool to get out there – especially this summer – and see you guys just be crazy and wild and sing our songs,” Jenna added. Echoing her brother, she concluded: “You’re the reason why we do what we do.”
