Jamal Buchet had been writing and recording music in his home studio for six or seven years. In December of 2003 his sister decided it would be a great Christmas present to give Jamal a few of his songs professionally mixed. She approached Piggyback Records studio to do the mixes, who quickly signed Jamal to a record deal .Having just moved to Bend Oregon, and not knowing a lot of musicians, the label hooked him up with local talent; lead guitarist / background vocalist Andy Jacobs, and bassist Mike Larson in 2004, and the trio began learning Jamal's songs and adding their own touches to make the synergy complete. Andy and Mike brought in their old friend and drummer Adam Lowrie later in the year, and the band was officially born.
