Jack and Evan have been playing for over ten years, most recently in Wrest, with percussionist Ben Bennett. Zach and Jack started playing in the June of 2014, an intense engagement since then, the most regular musical activity for both of them, releasing Meet and Greet on the Spring Garden Music label. Their Nov. 2015 tour took them through the midwest and southeast.
