The Fall Tour Continues… 🍁
Greetings from the chilly Pacific Northwest. We've just returned from a wonderful string of shows in Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Maine, Michigan and WA state. We had a great time at these shows with you all, truly. It has been so much fun to share all the songs from the new album in person after so many years working on them in the studio together!

The Songwriting Process 🍂
As many of you know, last August we rolled out the release of our newest album, "Moment in Time." Since then, everything has moved so quickly between tours and promoting the album and then tours again and of course the inevitable "life stuff" curveballs that happen to us all, that it feels just like yesterday that it came out. Because of that, we have only just gotten around to being able tell some of the stories behind the songs on the album :) Let's start at the beginning.
Fall Tour 2026

Moment in Time shirt: Back in Stock!
Restock: Moment in Time Shirts and Hoodies!
We got completely wiped out of this design after the last tour, which is amazing, but it meant limited size choices in the online shop for a bit. However, we have recently re-ordered and this is just a quick note to let you know that the "Moment in Time" design is now back in stock!
So if you had your eye on one of these, here you go! Enjoy :)
Behind the Song: “Adventurer”
"Adventurer" is a tune that we wrote back in 2024 and it's the second song that was recorded for the new album, Moment in Time. We wanted it to have the vibe of setting off on an exciting journey, and could picture rushing rivers, waterfalls and mountain trails under the summer sun as the "Adventurer" heads off
