Their second album, Everybody's Talkin' was recorded live and released in May 2012.[7]

In 2013, the band was nominated for the Blues Music Awards [8] and released their third album, Made Up Mind.[9]

The band gave a Joe Cocker tribute concert at the 2015 Lockn' Festival[10] featuring alumni musicians from Cocker's bands.[11]
