All Our Exes Live in Texas were an Australian folk group, consisting of Hannah Crofts (vocals & ukulele), Georgia Mooney (vocals & mandolin), Elana Stone (vocals & accordion) and Katie Wighton (vocals & guitar). The four artists combined at an O Brother, Where Art Thou? tribute show in 2014. [1] [2] The group name was adapted from the George Strait song "All My Exes Live in Texas", which they chose for its "funny and ironic" nature. [3]
