When the director asked Victor to perform on stage in an impromptu “open mic night” scene in a bar, the actor was a bit nervous, but Erin knew just what to do.

Erin grabbed her guitar and she and Ben agreed to lend their vocals to the Christmas carol alongside Rasuk. But the filmmakers hit another snag with the music choice for the scene.
Victor had heard the song before, “but he didn’t know the words,” recalls Erin. “So in the five minutes before we performed it, he was like, ‘Okay, God rest ye merry gentlemen…’ We were like, come on, you’ll love it, don’t worry about it. And he did it!”
Dipping their toes into drama is just one of the couple’s exciting new ventures.
They’ve just opened their third store, The Scent Library, in Laurel, the small Southern town they’ve helped turn into a tourist destination thanks to Home Town. They’ve just wrapped filming the second season of their spinoff seriesHome Town Takeover(coming spring 2023) and are about to premiere new episodes ofHome Town(Dec. 4), including a very personal project newly completed: a country house for the couple and their two daughters, Helen, 4, and Mae, 17 months.
But renovating historic houses and giving small towns around the country a boost is the Napiers' bread and butter. Erin admits, the thing she’s anxious about at the moment is the critical reception of their acting debut.
“I’m still a little nervous,” she says. I hope people like it!"
