All five members contribute vocals, giving the group the flexibility to cover material that requires multiple and unique vocal parts. Carly Hines adds a distinctive touch playing flute on songs where it belongs, allowing the band to authentically perform music few others can. Travis Gooden delivers soaring guitar solos and riffs that define both the surf and rock edge of the band’s sound. Jackson Hines brings depth on keyboards with piano, organ, and synth textures.
