The band toured in support of their debut album Can't Get Enough in fall 2013 backed by bassist Kevin McCormick (who played with Crosby, Stills and Nash in 2012) and Shepherd's longtime drummer Chris Layton.[2] Their second album Pierced Arrow followed in 2016; it peaked at number one in the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart.[3]
