Bio: Over the last decade, frontman Jeff Crosby earned his chops with the Idaho funk jam band Equaleyes before moving to Los Angles in pursuit of a solo career.

In 2013 the band signed with Jerry Joseph’s record label, Cosmic Sex School Records, and released the EP “Silent Conversations.”
Breakout tunes: Two songs from “Silent Conversations,” “This Old Town” and “Oh Love, Oh Lord,” were featured on the FX-TV show “Sons of Anarchy” in 2013. “This Old Town” is about Crosby’s reaction to returning to Idaho after moving to LA.
