On October 20th , 2018 they celebrated the release of their debut album, Heart Glow, to a sold-out crowd headlining the iAM Music Fest and a showcase set at Telluride Jazz Fest. In the bands first two years they played over 150 shows across the Western United States at some of the areas finest music venues and festivals. Currently the group is working on its new concept video and EP “Dont Stop Me” set to release in 2020.
