The band’s journey continued with the release of their second album, “Here,” in 2012, which further solidified their reputation as a leading force in the folk rock genre. Their participation in the Railroad Revival Tour alongside Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show not only expanded their reach but also highlighted their commitment to live performance, culminating in the Grammy-winning documentary “Big Easy Express.”

In 2013, they released their self-titled third album, which was met with critical acclaim and led to extensive touring across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia. Known for their inclusive performances, the band often invites fans on stage, creating memorable experiences that resonate deeply with their audience.
