The band released their Debut Album “Remember Me” summer 24, which was instantly chosen as “Pick of the Month” by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association in the UK. Their EP ‘Live at Echo Zoo Studios’ is coming out Winter 24 and a brand-new album is already in the work set for Spring 2025 release.
Jess and Frankie had already been making waves on the UK blues scene with their respective own projects, but in the summer of 2023, following a performance at the legendary Isle of Wight festival, the decision was made to combine the bands and start writing and recording new, original music.
The band already has a stellar reputation for live performances with the blend of two of the most soulful voices around, keys & guitar wizardry and the grooviest rhythm section going. Get on board early, you won’t want to miss out.
