In 2013, the duo of Parsons and Hayes invited singer-songwriters Gwyneth Moreland, for whom Hayes had produced the album "Ceilings Floors and Open Doors" (2014), and Steven Bates, a long time California club headliner, to join them in four-part harmony vocals and a showcase for each member's songwriting.

Both Ceilings Floors and Open Doors and Cider won the two of them accolades including topping Folk singles and album Charts.
