“Carolina Blue” is now available for streaming, download, and viewing. This song came together in the week immediately following Hurricane Helene’s devastation in WNC, and was recorded over the course of two days in Nashville, TN. We have been deeply moved, and we dedicate this song to everyone impacted by Helene.
100% of the sales of this single and the special “Carolina Blue” shirt will go to Operation AirDrop @opairdrop, an organization that is providing critical support to relief efforts by coordinating planes to deliver supplies to areas in the mountains that are unreachable by ground due to the destruction. Please consider downloading the song, buying a shirt, or simply donating directly to @opairdrop through the “Operation Helene” button on their website here.
We hope “Carolina Blue” brings some hope and silver lining to this dire situation, because we truly believe that “it’s the love you carry with you, not the love you leave behind.”

They’ve crafted a distinct sound by writing all of the songs on their upcoming debut album with veteran producer and engineer Greg Archilla, known for his work with Collective Soul, Matchbox Twenty, Neil Young, and many others.
Amidst the pandemic they collaborated with Archilla, perfecting their sound that merges catchy songwriting with a soulful blend of Southern rock and country influences. “We want our music to feel fresh yet familiar to our audience,” says Tyler Cates. “Our goal is for our songs to heal hearts, spark new beginnings, and make a lasting impression, our lyrics resonate deep emotions with our fans.” adds Trey Bentley.
