Have you performed in front of an audience?

Tours have been rare, but special. In the past we've performed live primarily in the Northwestern United States. Playing our brand of music live has been an eye-opening experience as each song takes on a transformation, an evolution in the intimacy of a live setting. The experiences have been fun and full of surprises.
