To date, the band has done shows for Wilco, Fiona Apple, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Frank Zappa and Dirty Dancing Live. In addition to club shows, the band is available for house concerts, festivals and parties, Their appearances at the London Underground Pub Wake-Up Call in Blacksburg are special occasions for the community at large.

Roanoke Times columnist Tad Dickens describes the band as "the most talented musicians in Blacksburg".
