Comprising talented members Michael Hobby (lead vocals), Bill Satcher (lead guitar), and Graham Deloach (bass and vocals), the band quickly garnered attention with their unique sound that blends elements of country, rock, and blues. Their debut EP, released in 2010, showcased their songwriting prowess and set the stage for their future successes.
