The band recently released their debut CD, SELF-TITLED.

On the CD, the band pays homage to legendary west coast fiddlers Rufus Guinchard and Emile Benoit, by including a set of tunes on the CD from each artist, that also include a set from Port Kirwan accordion player Belle Fennelly. The CD is nicely rounded out by the inclusion of songs from songwriters as diverse as Ron Hynes, Pat Byrne and Paul Simon.
With the pure and emotive singing voice of Maria Peddle and the bands clever playing the various instruments, are sure to please the listener, whether its dancing or singing and theywill be asking for more.
