They were out of Nashville, and 4 or 5 years ago it seemed they were destined for the same trajectory as Alabama Shakes. I saw them a couple of time and was blown away by them. I know a couple of years ago the house they were recording an album in burned down, but that's the last I've heard of them. Guessing the fire destroyed a lot fo their equipment, and maybe they just hung it up?

Birmingham Mtn Radio played the crap out of their should-have-been-a-bigger-hit song "Fly So Free". I did find this recent tidbit that "Luella" is still singing in Nashville.

Carroll will be backed by drummer Justin Amaral and bassist Cameron Carrus, and Carroll’s girlfriend Luella, formerly of Luella and the Sun, will provide backing vocals, play percussion, and sing a few of her own songs. (Luella’s ethereal voice is featured prominently on I Don’t Care, and serves as a great contrast to Carroll’s gritty rasp

Yeah, they played a free show at Good People Brewing, then played Do Dah Day a few months later, and it seemed they were destined to hit it big. The guitarist had a great sound that meshed so well with her voice.

Then they just disappeared. I'm sure the fire had a lot to do with that, but they haven't even given any update on their Facebook page in a couple of years, but I did just notice there's a RIP on front of their name. That's unfortunate.
