Thank you guys so much for having us over here at the Echo Sessions.
We love being in Nashville, it's kind of just a hop and a skip down the road from Johnson city which is kind of where we're based out of, for those of you guys that are tuning in and don't really know us.
We're sort of out of Johnson city.
I guess we are about to fall.
Cause that's the only place within our little bitty town that we live in that's got a music scene, but we're really from Russell county, Virginia.
Little town called Castlewood on the Clinch River, where we were born and raised.
[guitar plays] This song's called Never Again.
[exhales] [laughing] - Ready?
