They have performed at various notable venues in CT and New York City including Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (Emerging Artist Showcase), Towne Crier, Infinity Hall, and Voices Cafe. They have shared the staged with national touring acts including Mary Fahl of the October Project, Susan Werner, and two-time grammy award winner, Bill Miller.
