In the spring of 2003 we played our first show on Saint Patrick's day in a little bar in Gatlinburg.  Taking the sounds we grew up with and putting an Appalachian twist to them, we have developed our own sound; a mix of punk rock, folk, and traditional Irish pub songs.
        Don't be confused by our style (or lack there of) we are some of the nicest fellas you will ever meet. we should have probably written our songs with electric instruments but the raw power of acoustic means we can play anywhere. we have played many events such as the knoxville brewers jam at the worlds fair park, the WDVX blue plate special, hottfest, the blue plum festival and a multitude of others. we plan to take this sound to the ends of the earth.
