Meet two delightful country-crooning cats who will have kids singing their praises: Tex Mex Rex and Sugar Lee Snughead. Both kitties have left their small towns and come to the big city in search of fame and fortune on the stage. And why not? Tex’s tunes “could put smiles on fields full of cattle,” while Sugar’s voice “called as sweetly as catbirds in June.”
But city life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—until Tex and Sugar find each other…and discover what beautiful music they make together. Like the best country songs, Tex & Sugar is funny, touching, and carries a great message: Believe in Dreams, Darlin’, You Know They’ll Find You.
