Tracking for this album started in July 2017 in Huntsville, AL at Downing Sound Studios, with more magic mixing at MAGNETIC SOUND in Nashville, TN, and was expertly mastered at Clearwave Recording Studios in Decatur, AL. This album has been our musical love child, of which we are 5 proud fathers, and we are ecstatic to introduce to the world.

Please join us on May 4th at Yellowhammer Brewing for our album release party, with special guests The Quantaphonics. More details to come soon!
