Formed in the late 1990s by Wade Schuman, the band has carved a niche in the world-blues spectrum with a live presence that blends street-corner storytelling with studio precision. Their debut album, Bahamut (2006), reached #12 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart, signaling a unique voice that would resonate across continents. The group’s 2023 studio effort, Bonfire, was recorded in Queens and released in the United States by JARO Medien/Gekophonic, continuing their tradition of eclectic storytelling through music.
