They have played 80 shows in the USA and 35 in the UK and Europe, supporting the likes of Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson and Josh Ritter. their debut reached number 8 on Billboard’s Americana / Folk album chart, which is a phenomenal achievement for a new UK band over in the States. Alongside an appearance at the Americana Music Association UK awards, the Album of the Year nominees have announced dates for a UK and Ireland tour. The duo are impressive performers and well-worth checking out. You can get a taste of their live shows on the brand new EP release, ‘Live in Memphis’, full of energy and bluesy goodness.
