The band have been playing music in the same pubs since the early 90's, but not always in the same bands, or even the same genres. Now the stars have aligned, and these old musical mates have come together to create a band whose whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
United by the music of Doc Boggs, Ola Belle Reed, Gillian Welch, The Horseflies and Elizabeth LaPrelle. the intertwining of fiddle and banjo, haunting vocal harmonies, and lyrics that are both timeless and true, make this band mesmerising and energising in equal parts, like moonshine and mountain dew.
