Their fourth album, “Sweet Pea,”  has garnered much critical praise.  “They bring an incredible authority to songwriting and singing….enormous fearlessness and panache….” – Ann Powers of NPR.  They’ve composed music for film and television, most notable for MTV and Lifetime. They are a 2024 Kerville Festival New Folk Winner for songwriting.
