Artist History minus bluff started in Lock Haven, PA, in February of 2001. They played mainly coffee shops as they recorded their first album, Live Bait. In August, 2001, they moved to Philly, losing their bassist, Meredith Stoner, and their drummer, Randy Miller. Joel Roberts, a close personal friend of the band, joined the band to fill in the drums. Then Doug Parker, Joel's friend, came in to play the bass parts. The band is currently playing several times a week in the Philly area as they work their way out to New York, Penn State, and other large music venues. They are also getting regular radio play on WYSP's Loud and Local with Tommy Conwell. You can buy their CD, Live Bait, on CDBaby.com.
