Short Summary

Hey y’all, for those of you who don’t know much about us, we are Nashville based songwriters who met a little over three years ago in a writing session. We quickly knew we had something special when it came so naturally, and after months of writing and figuring out who we were we decided to start a band together! We released our first EP last October and since then we’ve been through a whirlwind of life events both joyous and tragic, which of course inspired new songs! We’ve had our share of highs and lows as a band, from almost signing to a record label to getting some exciting songs cut together. We're at a crossroads now and have decided that the best thing for us to do is to take our music into our own hands and go the independent route! This of course is risky and stepping out in faith for us, which is why we are asking for your help!
