The band has toured with artists such as Modest Mouse, Deertick, The Low Anthem, Blind Pilot, Cloud Cult, Jenny Lewis, Langhorne Slim, Jesse Sykes and Jakob Dylan and shared stages with artists including but not limited to Fleet Foxes, Menomena, Helio Sequence, Blitzen Trapper, The Tallest Man on Earth, Okkervil River, and Conor Oberst.
