"Get To Being Gone" is available to radio today and is the first single from the band's upcoming album titled By Any Other Name, due for release October 30th.

About "Get To Being Gone," writer Mike Andes says, "As a songwriter, I am continually trying to write a catchy upbeat song. For me, this is not easily done. On a drive home to Ohio last year, this little hook came to me and I rolled with it. There's a lot of words to get rolled off, but when they do, it creates a catchy little bluegrass toe tapper." A "bluegrass toe tapper" is the perfect description for this tune that will no doubt become a fan favorite!
