Trey (saxophone): We had several socially distanced private shows, even during the first few months of the
          lockdown. Just trying to stay as active as we could under the circumstances. In addition, during the summer
          months and into the fall, we filled time between the private gigs with livestreams as well as a video recording
          which was done as part of the Tucson Meet Yourself Festival. If you haven't seen us live before you can
          expect a lot of energy. We're a group that's 7 strong, so you can imagine the intensity and the power of the
          sound coming from that many people on stage at once. And being that we're a larger band, we work hard to
          stay very tight as a group. I think listeners will also enjoy the effort we put forth to ensure that seeing us live
          is a whole new experience from what you might be used to from music we've released. We keep the live
          show up tempo, always trying out different intros and outro's, and make sure to throw in some covers that are
          crowd favorites.

          Justin Nazari (rhythm guitar): Yes, we have had a handful of regional and local shows that were live shows
          with small crowds. Some of these shows have been outside, but all of them have had strict COVID-19-related
          restrictions  and  limitations,  as  well  as  social  distancing  rules.  I  would  say  it  is  very  similar  to  dining
          experiences, but just with a live band performing in the background.
