Sunday\u2019s normally involve a Christian song, while Tuesday\u2019s incorporate new features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, the duo has recently collaborated with current RC junior, Veronica Nordyke, which has brought a change of pace to their usual covers, with the addition of a couple Colbie Caillat songs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The beautiful harmony and synchronization found in each music video is developed by aligning a video recording of the singer to the instrumental track of the song using a video-editing software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI gain joy from doing this because I\u2019ve always loved music but never took the time to pursue it,\u201d Simme said. \u201cI honestly didn\u2019t realize people would enjoy it this much and that I would have so much fun doing it. We give God the glory because He gave us the pipes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The duo welcomes song requests and encourages anyone interested in a potential opportunity to be featured to direct message their Instagram account (@simmebranham).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Jessica Shelburne Joe Simme and Holden Branham are two recent graduates from RC that have paired up to create their own music, better known as SimmeBranham Productions with the motto, \u201ctwo country boys out to share our love of music and humor.\u201d What began as a simple idea that Simme and Branham joked&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
