Band members have played with, or been direct support for, artists such as: Cornel West, Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, Ralph Stanley, Ted Nugent, Roy Clark, Tony Rice. They played stages in Europe, Asia, numerous festivals in the western states, and famous venues like The Fillmore, The Catalyst, The Great American Music Hall, and Terrapin Crossroads.
