The critically acclaimed quartet includes two WMU Jazz Studies alumni, Derek Fawcett (djembe, vocals) and Dan Myers (harmonica, mandolin, violin, vocals), with Levi Britton (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Dave Rothkopt (acoustic guitar, bass, vocals). Down the Line delivers an acoustic mix that the Chicago Sun-Times praised as "an organic blend of rollicking pop," and the Onion raved about the group's use of "rock 'n' roll attitude to create folksy pop."
