The summer of 2008 saw four of the area's most well known musicians come together to form a group based on a shared philosophy of playing music that engages the audience from the first note to the last. Born from this was a unique setlist spanning decades as well as genres. This new group, originally titled 8 ONE TOO, proved an overnight success with headline performances at numerous special events throughout the area. Due to unforeseen events, the group's succesful run was to be cut short in the spring of 2009. Members continued to play out in other groups until the summer of 2010 when fate would open the door for the group to reunite. The return was welcomed and the group would experience the same instant success as it did in the beginning. A vacancy would open for the first time in its history during the summer of 2011. Terry Craig reluctantly abdicated his thrown as frontman and rhythm guitarist with the impending birth of his second child. Fortunately, Bryan Capps, former frontman of the success group RedNeck RattleSnake, was poised to step into the role as frontman and Troy Ritchison took on the role as sole guitarrist, covering both rhythm and lead responsibilities. This current lineup of Capps, Ritchison, Arnold and Baxter continue with the founding philosphy of playing a diverse, interactive shows to capacity crowds through South Central Indiana.
