Alt-blues meets Americana rock 🎸

If you’ve been looking for a band that actually feels like Austin… this is it. brings that new Texas blues sound with a raw, jam-heavy energy that pulls you in from the first note and doesn’t let go.

This is the kind of set where one song turns into a moment, and suddenly you’ve been there way longer than you planned.

From locking into grooves on “Use Me” to getting a little more personal with their original “AI Love Song,” they know how to ride that line between familiar and fresh.

If you’re tired of overproduced playlists and want real instruments, real talent, and real connection… come see what live music is supposed to sound like.

Live on 6th Street at your favorite live music venue 🍻

bring Southern Rock & Soul with a raw,
unpolished edge — the kind of band that feels as honest as it sounds.

Gritty and soulful, their sets lean into what they call “outlaw hymnals,” delivered with real presence and personality 🎶

Their sound pulls from Ray LaMontagne, The Black Crowes, and Otis Redding, blending Southern rock with deep soul influences. Expect a mix of covers and originals, including “I Hope I Die.”
