The band was formed in 2007 after Ben Ringel and David Supica met at Belmont University and began creating music together.

[4] Despite their increased success, the band decided to go on a little hiatus to pursue “other muses” that they’ve been wanting to chase, and other life stuff outside of music, like having kids and enjoying their marriages.

[9] The France-based blues label Dixiefrog Records combined the two EPs into one self-titled album, The Delta Saints, released in 2011.

[12] The Delta Saints played as the opening band for Blackberry Smoke in 2014, whilst promoting the Death Letter Jubilee album.

[23] During a 2015 interview on the CBC program Studio Q, singer-songwriter Chrissie Hynde praised the group after touring with them in the USA, describing them as "the best band I've heard in ten years".
