CARS 3 - GLORY DAYS
In March 2017 Pixar asked us to recreate Bruce Springsteens ‘Glory Days’ for Cars 3. They took us on a tour of the Pixar campus and let us preview a rough version of our scene. Finding the vibe they were looking for lead us to Robert Randolph who absolutely floored us with his talent. Produced/recorded at Sherman Oaks Studio.

2016 Grammys!

So happy to attend supporting Andra! Had a great time rehearsing her and Elliie Goulding a few days before in preparation for the show. Their Grammy performance was amazing but nothing comes close to the energy in the room while it was happening.

Playing the White House!

After the most intense security you’ve ever seen, we made it into the White House. Performing for Michele Obama's 'Better Make Room" campaign, we performed ‘Rise Up’ for roughly 200 people including the first lady. Andra has since been back for her fifth visit performing for the televised Ray Charles tribute on PBS.
