Their sound is characterized by elements of classic rock, folk, and a subtle nod to the 80s, with influences from Cosmic Americana. Recent releases include albums like "Vinegar Hill" and "Bronze Star," which showcase their evolution from a more traditional barroom twang to a richer, more textured sound.
