In the late 90's in Nashville, Paul Pearce and Kyle Miller started recording songs on a digital 2 track recorder and a 4 track cassette machine. This grew to a 16 track recording out of Kyle's basement produced with mostly borrowed gear, drummers Bob Hilburn, Steve Ebe, Mike Crouch, and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Moore. Though never released, the first record of 10 songs was completed in 2002 just as Paul moved to Richmond VA.
Some of these songs are still performed live. A couple of examples are on this page.
