Holy smoke!  If you like southern rock/soul you NEED to see this band. They got started about 5 years ago and are absolutely on fire.  Their 3rd album, Carolina Confessions, comes out October 5, 2018.  I'm sure it will be as great an album as what's preceded it, but trust me: see them live post haste (^_^) TOAST
