Zach Quinn usually brings raw, gritty, high-energy vocals to the stage as frontman for the New Orleans-based punk band PEARS. However, his recent solo project shows the artist's chill side.

Exercising his voice's versatility, Quinn completed an album of originals showcasing his songwriting skills. He also filmed various unplugged performances, such as his cover of Rob Hyman's "Time After Time," made famous by Cyndi Lauper in 1983. The song's stripped-down aesthetic is challenging to master and has been used to highlight many notable artists' intricate vocal skills.

Doug Burns, raised in South Florida, has enjoyed and performed music from various genres. In his youth, he listened to rock n roll, like the Beatles, the Monkeys, and Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). Later he played in punk bands, traveling to a town to play a gig, crashing on a couch, and get back on the road for the next gig.

When that paled, he decided to simply play his own songs and realized those songs had more in common with CCR and Steve Earle than with the Dead Kennedys or the Ramones.
