Originally formed as a college band in Bozeman, Montana, Left on Tenth moved to the big(ger) city of Portland, Oregon, just in time for a global pandemic. They used the next couple of years to write and play music, and to adjust to big(ger) city things like traffic and feta cheese. In late-2021, they became the house band at a local bar called Rose City Book Pub. In summer or maybe fall of 2022, they signed with an ambitious independent label who launched them to great fame and commercial success.
