Often referred to by fans as one of the hardest-working, hardest-touring bands on the circuit today, the 5-piece Illinois-based act not only proves that classification with their jam-packed tourschedule but also on stage every night, with youthful exuberance and a lively stage show, asreliable as it is infectious. High energy percussion, mandolin, guitar, bass, banjo and fiddleweave seamlessly together to create an experience for fans that has sold out shows across theUK and the United States, filling the front rows with fans not just singing along to one tune, butsinging along to all of them. “Everybody says it. We’d be nothing without our supporters. Yeah,they buy tickets and of course we love that, but when we’ve been on the road for 10 hours andwalk onto a stage road weary and we see familiar faces singing along, it’s hard to describe. It'severything, really. There’s a whole lot of love there.”Music enthusiasts are not the only ones taking note.
