With major hits like ‘Wicked Garden’ and the Grammy Award-winning smash single ‘Plush,’ they left their mark on the world with over 70 million albums sold. Their most recent studio album, Perdida, was released in 2020 with new lead singer Jeff Gutt, continuing the band’s legacy as influential musical icons,” a news release from fair officials states.

The band has won one Grammy and has been nominated for four others, according to the Grammy Awards website.
