With performances across festivals in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario, the band has earned a reputation for crisp harmonies, heartfelt storytelling, and dynamic stage presence. Their talent was recognized when they won Most Promising Band of the Year at the Eastern Canada Bluegrass Music Awards (ECBMA).
