They are trying to redefine string music for a youthful generation of listeners; their progressive nature and sound comes from use of plugged and unplugged instruments, a blending of refined musical ability and ‘letting it all hang out,’ with a strong sense of ambition. They are reminiscent of genre-benders like Jack White, Chris Thile and Sam Bush and, like these artists, connect with their fans in ways that sell out their show.
