This year, they begin their fall tour here in Lafayette, which will travel to Lincon Center before heading to Europe. To listen to their work, check out their fourth album, Sharp Turns, a 2007 release on Nocturne label. The concert will be on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2008, at 7:30 pm at UL's Angelle Hall.
