In 2022, they won 2 Lexington Music Awards for Pop Artist of the Year and Song of the Year "Outlaw" and have impressively clocked in over 5MIL+ streams and over 2.4MIL + video views in just 4 years.
They are known as being really great guys as well and supporters of other Kentucky musicians in both their words and actions.
