The first one was when Berwyn, PA native, Greene, reached out to Summit to team up for a class assignment when they both were students at USC\/Thornton School of Music\u2014they were in the same class, but had never met. The next came a bit later when they became a couple. And then, after pursuing separate musical paths, deciding during the pandemic to see what they could do as a duo. After that it was a big jump, moving from L.A. to Nashville. What started as a songwriting class exercise will soon become a marriage and a debut showcasing their &#8220;angsty Americana&#8221; approach,&nbsp;The Prickly Pair&nbsp;EP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen\/Stream &#8220;Winsome Lose Some Game&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src = \"https:\/\/song.link\/WinsomeLoseSomeGame\" height = \"600px\" width = \"100%\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, The Prickly Pair debuted the&nbsp;first single&nbsp;from their new release,&nbsp;&#8220;Winsome Lose Some Game.&#8221;&nbsp;Ripe with tight, close harmonies throughout the entire song, &#8220;Winsome Lose Some Game&#8221; is the perfect introduction to the fullness of Green and Summit&#8217;s relationship, the excitement and fears of committing to another person captured in both the words and music, and, crucially, their gorgeously intertwined voices. &#8220;I think this song is about loving and accepting a person for who they are,&#8221; says Greene. &#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s a toss-up, but when you find the right person, you&#8217;ll love them wholeheartedly, in spite of their flaws.&#8221; Summit added the &#8220;clip-clop&#8221; percussion to give &#8220;Winsome&#8221; its decidedly Western feel and the Pair asked Jeff Plankenhorn to play lead on the song after opening for him at Santa Monica&#8217;s beloved McCabe&#8217;s Guitar Shop last year. The end result is a stunning statement signaling great things to come from the up-and-coming duo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video for &#8220;Winsome Lose Some Game&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"The Prickly Pair - &amp;quot;Winsome Lose Some Game&amp;quot; Live Acoustic\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_j6Uj8B_MUgc\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fj6Uj8B_MUgc%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j6Uj8B_MUgc\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT3M27S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-08-20T17:57:51Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_j6Uj8B_MUgc\" data-src=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fj6Uj8B_MUgc%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">The Prickly Pair - &quot;Winsome Lose Some Game&quot; Live Acoustic<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/j6Uj8B_MUgc\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fj6Uj8B_MUgc%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"The Prickly Pair - &amp;quot;Winsome Lose Some Game&amp;quot; Live Acoustic\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Video by Twin Lantern, Nashville, TN.
