TopHouse, Craig Paquette and Dan Rumsey at Palmer’s

TopHouse started out playing in parking garages late at night in downtown Missoula Montana, where they eventually gained traction at venues, festivals, private parties, weddings, and all other manners of things that musicians typically do when they're starting out. Eventually the decision was made to pack up and make the move to Music City Tennessee, where they've enjoyed living the music life as they continuously write, record, book, and do the music stuff.
