Who doesn't love a good band to listen to while exploring ? I absolutely LOVE listening to music while driving to camps! Well I'm proud to say I can now listen to my son do what he loves with newest and first EP that just dropped. Great sound, definitely my style, and you can tell these folks have passion!
Give them a listen and a follow. Let them know what your fav song is. They would be thrilled to hear from y'all. Album can be found on YouTube music and many other places.... Just search Sigourney's Seasons.
