Initially an acoustic duo of Sherman Arnowitz and Greg Belmonte, going by the name Sherman and Greg[1], the band morphed itself in 2008 into an eight-piece band composed of Sherman Arnowitz (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Greg Belmonte (Vocals and acoustic guitar), Marc Brenner (keyboards and vocals), Dan Roth (drums), Brian Levenstein (lead guitar and vocals), Jeff Brody (bass guitar) and Adam Broztovski (percussion). In 2012, the band slimmed down and made some changes to become a four-piece band consisting of Sherman Arnowitz (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Marc Brenner (keyboards and vocals), Richie Shapiro (drums) and Todd Roberto (bass guitar).

Sherman and Greg were the main writers with each contributing their own unique style of song-writing.
