under the band name Rosmand, Mando incorporates his roots into his songwriting
and he has a great, distinctive voice that conveys a lot of feeling. When he
sings about love, you can feel it and when he sings about loss and pain, you
feel it. Mando started his live music career began back in 2015 - and in 2016

You do super work Sir. Did you play football at Archer City? Is Josh from A.C? Curious about you guys background.

[@texashistorylessons]

I did not. I grew up about an hour east of Archer City. Played football there. Josh grew up in southeast Texas.
