They started in 2010 and spent more than a decade as a four-piece rock band; they made the transition to a duo permanent on the heels of bassist and co-founder Dave Mehring’s departure from the area after recording one more full band project together: their fourth studio album, 2022’s Inner Voices & Curious Choices. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGdoMxba0hWqdLj1VqqKJH5Eo-fEe66rE Music starts at 10 am.
