New Year, New Single - WallsWalls is a piano ballad - a different direction than the Americana tunes the band is best known for, but not unusual for Sohayla Smith as a songwriter.
The band will release an alternate full band version of Walls in the coming months. Walls was released for worldwide digital distribution Dec 31, 2017. Bridges has been sent off for worldwide distribution - once it's up on itunes, apple music, spotify, etc.. we'll let you know!

Live EP in the works with Josh Maitland of Red Room Recordings!
We had an 8 hour session this weekend, working with Josh Maitland of Red Room Recordings, and we tackled 4 songs that we hope will come together beautifully to represent our live performance. We plan to head back for more recording time, and as we complete songs, we'll be releasing them for streaming until the EP is complete - then it'll be available for sale as well. Get ready for some new tunes! See some photos from our session below.
