We are super stoked and immeasurably grateful to be one of the recipients of the Threadhead Cultural Foundation Grant! It is really special to be recognized, received, and trusted by such a wonderful, supportive and active community to produce a full-length album of music that truly represents our hearts and captures the chemistry of our band. An opportunity often only available to signed bands, we're now able to authentically focus on our art and have more means to make it kick as much as possible. All of the sounds and grooves of New Orleans that we've been soaking up in our collective decades-plus experience backing local luminaries have been cooking for some time, and we're excited to season it and serve it up in a fresh and inspiring way, the way only a band's band can! Thank you, Threadheads, for sharing your fire with us. We look forward to continuing to share our fire with y'all and beyond!
