Brothers Michael and Scott Harter, and their sister Leslie, were involved in various other musical endeavors before forming the band together. Michael had moved to
Nashville to become a country songwriter/performer, recording one album for
Broken Bow Records in 2002 under the name
J. Michael Harter. After deciding that they would begin performing together, they began recording videos of themselves on
YouTube. They were discovered by producer
Keith Stegall, best known for his work as
Alan Jackson's producer. The Harters also caught the attention of
Adam Gregory, with whom they collaborated when the two acts shared the stage for a children's charity show. The band was subsequently asked to open a series of shows for
Josh Turner. The Harters were also featured in
People.com's July 2009 Photo Special. The Harters made two songs available for free download on its website, including the debut single "Jenny." Scott and Michael began writing the song five years before its release, and completed it with assistance from Malloy and Brad Irby. This song debuted at number 54 on the
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week ending March 20, 2010 and peaked at number 53. The album's second single "If I Run" released to country radio in 2011. That same year, the trio toured with
Alan Jackson. ==Critical reception==
