I am a big fan. They were students and later ex-students at the time I was at Georgia. They did a great free concert across from my dorm during my senior year.

Great harmony vocals, also. Very few others could successfully blend with Stipe.

I am so happy Sonny T has a high profile gig with Cory Wong. He deserves the exposure.
