In March of 2020, the band released a four-song EP, Extra Vehicular Activity, which was recorded and produced by Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring & The 5 of 7 / Col. Bruce Hampton). In August of 2020, the band released their first live album, Live From The Bunker, which showcases their vast improvisational skill. All three releases continue to be in heavy rotation as the band currently sits with 14,000+ monthly listeners. 

The band continues to expand their catalog of fan favorites and originals entertaining audiences throughout the South. They continue to expand into new markets across the Southeast, drawing large crowds in cities such as Birmingham, Auburn, Tuscaloosa, Mobile, Montgomery, Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Charleston, and many more. They were selected to play Umphrey's McGee's inaugural Woodlands Music & Arts Festival in 2019 and have supported acts such as TAUK, Ghost Light, CBDB, Consider the Source, Funk You, and New Orleans Suspects.
