They have played at some of the best music venues in Atlanta, such as the Earl and Smiths Olde Bar, and have opened for heavy hitters like Shooter Jennings and the Waymores Outlaws, the Deslondes and Kim Lenz and the Jaguars. Their debut album, Sad Songs & Switchblades, has already received rave reviews in Creative Loafing Atlanta and Country Music People UK since its release earlier this year.
