The band's repertoire consists of original songs, many bluegrass favorites, and gospel, too, all done in the traditional style. Their most recent Pinecastle Records release, I Hear Bluegrass Calling Me, debuted on Billboard's Top 5 Bluegrass Albums chart, has just recently made its debut on the National Bluegrass Survey's Top 15 Albums chart, and has produced their #1 hit song, "Rusty Rails."
