This Eau Claire, Wisconsin band made their first visit to our studios on January 31, 2025. Guitarist and vocalist Soren Staff and banjo player Beau Janke met as counselors at a Bible camp and began performing together, with an acoustic sound inspired by the Avett Brothers. Soren's brother Jens later joined on mandolin, followed by electric bassist Neil Krause (formerly of Duluth band Tin Can Gin), and finally, Stas Hable on drums. When they dropped by our studio, the band performed songs from their forthcoming fifth full-length album, No Fun in the Chrysalis, and talked about making the album.
