Having the appreciation from our peers is just an awesome feeling,” Preston emphasized. I can’t help but feel like a lot of it has to do with the relationships we’ve made throughout the years, whether it’s from working with bands and artists at the studio, the other bands and projects we’ve all been a part of, or shows we’ve played with all the local talent. “I’ve heard that sentiment a few times and it always warms my heart.
