In 2011 Sam Hayes (Lead Vocals), Josh Gramling (Lead Guitar) and Moises Padilla (Drummer) met and instantly felt a musical connection. Not only did the trio mesh well together in the writing room and in the studio but they also found themselves becoming close friends. They hit the streets of Lower Broadway in Nashville and began playing shows all across town. One day they realized if they were going to keep playing together they might as well pick a band name.
