Kristy Kaos and Jazz Bender started Kaos Bender And The Traveling Trailer Park in 2017. They had been doing tribute shows for years and were ready to get back into the original game. They wanted something southern and bluesy but with a modern heavy edge, and their first hit single “Southern Girl” set the perfect tone for the Traveling Trailer Park!! In 2019 they released “Southern Girl” and 4 others on a debut EP called “The Manifesto” which spawned 5 singles and videos. In 2023, they followed up with a full length called “American Chronicles” and their current video for Red White And Blue is currently circulating through social media. The future is bright and wide open for this quintet – Kristy Kaos (Vocals/Guitar), Jazz Bender (Guitar/Vocals), Channa Bender (Vocals/Acoustic Guitars), Sean (Sinister) Smith (Bass), Joey (Rolex) Hicks (Drums).
Watch the official music video for the title track “RED, WHITE, AND BLUE”
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you… ain’t it good to be free
Verse 1
When we grew up we were dirt poor
Walked 5 miles to the old store, never knew what we didn’t have.
Drinking beers cruising, wasting time
Rock a lil skynard on my alpine, holding hands and ditching school. Can you feel me
Chorus
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you… ain’t it good to be free
Verse 2
Thunder and lighting in the southern skies, watching girls while we’re getting high
I never even had a clue
Cuz I’ve been lucky thank the lord above, for living in a city that I so love, if you disagree keep this in mind can you feel me
Chorus
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you… ain’t it good to be free
Bridge
Time goes by with a blink of an eye
And when it does then you realize, man its good to be me
Chorus
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you
Red, white and blue if you don’t care about me I can’t worry bout you… ain’t it good to be free ….. repeat
ABOUT “RED, WHITE, AND BLUE”
“This song is about…joining together hard-working Americans regardless of politics, to exercise the many rights afforded to them to be in the greatest country
in the word. The unification of a people who can disagree. Vote differently and then get on with being one again.
It also reminds us that “If you don’t care about me –
I can’t worry about you”, as we move beyond the differences to lend a hand up, not a push down. We are Red, white and blue to our very core!”
