Seventeen-year old twins, Kacey and Jenna Thunborg, live on their family farm in Lemitar, NM. Kacey received her first guitar as a Christmas present at the age of six. Soon after Jenna received a guitar of her own and the girls began taking lessons at the age of eight.  Award-winning instrumentalist and “The Cowboy Way” member, Mariam Funke, was their first mentor and teacher. And so began their journey into classical western music. Since then they have been fortunate to have taken part in many musical opportunities and adventures. The twins recorded their very first CD, “Simply Western” in 2019. In 2021, they received the International Western Music Association (IWMA) Liz Masterson Crescendo Award, and in 2019 and 2017 they won the IWMA “Youth Harmony Duo of the Year”. They are finalists for the 2022 Academy of Western Artists “Young Artist” and ‘Western Music Song” entitled “In the Moment”, a co-write with Kacey and Jim Jones and recorded by Jim, Kacey and Jenna. The girls are members of the IWMA Youth Chapter where Jenna serves as President. They also are members of the Cowtown Opry Buckaroos and their high school golf and speech and debate teams. The girls can’t wait to see where their music takes them next!
