Their recent participation in the thirtieth edition of the BluesCazorla Festival, one of the leading festivals of the genre in Spain, confirms it. it all came down after overcoming the tough selection of the BluesCazorla Blues Battle, a competition that opens the doors of the Festival to spanish bands and which in this edition had the participation of eighty groups. This milestone has been a recognition of the period of growth and maturation the band has enjoyed, which culminated with the publication of their second LP.
