Their ragged edge comes steeped in Alt-Country influences, building their sound around acoustic instruments and honest songwriting while devouring records from Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch, Tracy Chapman, Grant Lee Phillips, Dave Dobbyn and Neil Finn. See them take the stage together as they bring their live show home to Aotearoa to celebrate their debut release in conjunction with NZ music month!
