Well, keep me updated on that. Now, what everyone wants to know-why did you name yourselves the Wreckers?

It’s actually short for the Home Wreckers. (Laughing)

No way!

Yeah, Michelle’s husband actually named us that-which is ironic. It’s like the most obvious thing about Michelle and I and our friendship is that we’re completely unafraid to poke fun at ourselves. That’s just another instance of us laughing at our troubled romantic histories where we tended to fall for guys who would conveniently forget to tell us that they had wives or girlfriends. So…yeah, poking fun at ourselves, plus a lot of our songs that we’ve written together come from situations like that.

Well, that’s what makes for good country songs!

Oh yeah...

Now shifting back to home- what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re in Kansas City?

Now honestly, these days, when I come home I lock myself inside my parents house and I hang out with my parents and my sister, my family and my dog. I don’t go anywhere! My whole life is spent going and I’m constantly moving. When I get to come to KC, I just like to sit on the couch and take a breather.

Kansas City is a good place for downtime, that’s for sure. Ok-last question! What’s your fave Kansas City restaurant?

Favorite Kansas City restaurant??? It’s probably got to be Margarita’s!

Margarita’s on North Oak?

Yep! That’s where I go every time I’m home!

Jessica, thanks so much again, it's been a pleasure. Have fun lounging by the pool.

No problem. I will, thanks!

I wish you all the success with the Wreckers, and next time you’re in KC I’ll try and catch a show.

Thank you- awesome, that’d be great.
