"Kimberly Ruthanne and Presley Ray McLain bring their sounds from Paragould, Arkansas. Both have pursued their own musical endeavors, and were doing just that when they met at a show where they’d both be performing. Bonding over a shared love for song writing and mutual musical influences, they began playing together.

Much of their work includes influences from genres like folk, indie, country, and classic rock. Their songs touch on everything from the harsh realities of love and love lost, to the silly absurdities in life. They share their original work to bring you a vulnerable and engaging show. "
