After signing with Grey Area Management in 2013, a mid-summer trip performing a showcase at the World Famous, Tootsies Orchid Lounge in Nashville, TN proved a worthwhile trip. Shortly after, the band signed with ZOD Lounge Productions and began working with many well-known Nashville songwriters such as Scott Fairclough (Lifehouse), Jeffrey East (Dierks Bentley), Kevin Terry (Martina McBride), and Eliot Sloan (Blessed Union of Souls), on their debut CD. Their lead-off song titled, “Life in Dixie” (Congo, Faircloth), gained major radio airplay on Georgia’s Z94.5 FM. Their follow up single, “12 Ticks to Midnight,” can also be heard spinning on Jacksonville’s 99.1 FM WQIK. The band has since been spending their time between Jacksonville and Nashville writing and recording songs for their full length album release, due out in August 2016.
