The Walnut Street Project formed in the fall of 1998 in Meadville, PA. Alan Higby started the band by recruiting Chris Moore (from the local band Slander) to play drums and Troy Messerall (from the local band Silver Depth) to play guitar.

The band played its first show on April 3, 1999. The band recorded for the first time on May 31, 1999 with Greg Knowles in Alan’s living room.

The album was released on vinyl by Chumpire (Greg Knowles’s label) and on CD by Dance Explosion Records (the band’s own label). When Jeremy left for college that fall, Greg Knowles filled in on bass and eventually became a member of the band. The band recorded their second album Magic In Patterns in July 2000 at Mud Hut Studios. The album was released on CD by Chumpire and Dance Explosion Records.
