They began their formation when Steven Gooding moved to Wichita, Kansas and met current drummer Jesse Reichenberger.
Since the late 2000s, they have had two fourth members, first Jenny Wood, and currently Erin O'Neill, both whom were featured on guitar and vocals.
Gooding has made it a part of their tours to contribute back to the communities they have received help from in the past, from military bases to Walter Reed Hospital[which?].
In the last few years, Gooding has worked to create Funding the Future LIVE, a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to teaching and inspiring children to become financially literate.
[3] The music of Gooding has been featured in more than 200 films, including Walk the Line, Ice Age 2, Iron Man 2; TV shows such as CSI, Portlandia, Cold Case, Numbers, The Closer, Katie, The Good Wife, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report; video games; and commercials for Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Marriot, Adobe, and Cisco.
