With their signature family-harmony sound on display, Jesse and Jack perform alongside keyboardist Peter Ciorlano and drummer Dan Hann. Their deep catalog of cover songs spans popular music from the 1950s (Everly Brothers) to the current charts (Jason Mraz).

In 2010, Jesse's debut album "Father from a Man" was nominated by Motif Magazine for Americana Album of the Year and the father/son duo was nominated for Best New Act that same year. A second album, "One Step Closer," featuring guest appearances from Robillard, Mark Cutler, Thom Enright, and other great session players, has also recently been released. 

In the spring of 2012 Jesse Liam won Americana Male Vocalist of the Year at the Motif Magazine Music Awards.
