Check out our friends Muddy Mountain who will be performing on stage at EAC and at The Matheson Music Festival!

Our debut EP is out now on all streaming platforms!
Go check it out, share it with your family and friends, and let us know what you think. ( Link in bio )

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this project together and to all the support we’ve received along the way. We’re incredibly proud of how this turned out.. Especially considering we’ve only been doing this for a year and a half. We’ve learned a lot so far and can’t wait to keep growing once we get out to Tennessee.

Keep your eyes and ears open, we’re already working on new originals to release our first full-length album.

Love,
Muddy Mountain
