From the The First Round and Sky City in hometown Augusta to Nashville, Savannah, Athens, Asheville, Chapel Hill, and on the band is taking its sound across the Southeast. The influences of each member are slightly different, but combine to make tight, energetic rock and roll with a solid hook and big groove.
