FOR THE RECORD – TENNIS – MARATHON

“Coconut Grove is a very small cove, separated from the sea by a shifting shoal, we didn’t realize that we had arrived at high tide, high tide. Will we make it out alive?” – Tennis – Marathon

Imagine taking off for 8 months on a sailboat with your husband or wife, to have an adventure of great possibilities. Having oatmeal on the deck while sharks feed beside your sailboat. How could you not be inspired to write an album about your adventure? That’s what husband and wife duo, Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, did in 2009. Their album Cape Dory is a product of their love of sailing and 8 month trip. The song “Marathon” has a retro feel to it, along with element of the ocean and the Beach Boys.

Tennis will be releasing the follow album Young & Old in February, but if you like what you hear check out “Cape Dory.”
