One of the most talented outfits to hit the TARG stage. Definitely and emerging name that you will hear lots from in the future. The Rifle & The Writer is a Canadian Country Music duo comprised of siblings Rebekka Paige and Colby Latocha formed in 2015. In January of 2016, they recorded their debut album Flowers of Chance in Nashville, TN.
