Following breakthrough nods as the 2022 Thomas Point Beach Champions and as 2023 Grey Fox Emerging Artists, the band has accelerated their momentum—playing internationally in Canada, shows across the US, and climbing to #3 on the Sirius XM Bluegrass Junction Top 100 charts with their song "What Do I Need With Love. Performing as a trio for Make Music Day, On the Trail features current CT State Troubadour Charlie Widmer (guitar/vocals), Tom Polizzi (mandolin/vocals), and Matt Curley (upright bass/vocals).
