Jennifer Wayne has made her mark in country music, but these days, she is singing a completely different tune.
The Runaway June bandmate, who is the granddaughter of legendary Hollywood actor John Wayne, is teaming up with fellow artist Brad Rempel for a new series on The Design Network titled “Flip U.” In it, the Nashville, Tennessee stars will help home flipping hopefuls renovate a property in the country music capital in hopes of turning a profit.
“Brad and I have been friends for years – we’ve met each over music,” the 40-year-old told FOX Business. “We’re both in bands, but a couple of years ago, we started talking about real estate. I’ll never forget it – we were backstage, and I was looking for a place in Columbia, which is a little south of Nashville. And he had just renovated a cottage there. So we just started talking about real estate. Over the last couple of years, we’ve kept in touch and given each other tips. He had worked with The Design Network before, and they approached him about this show. He was nice enough to bring me in. I’m lucky I know him.”
