Siblings Rebecca and Joshua Williams grew up performing in a church where their father is a pastor. They've since directed their talents outside the church toward psychedelic rock: Rebecca sings and plays guitar with Joshua on drums in The Savage Blush, along with bassist Brian Wyatt. The Denver trio released the "Dust" EP last year and followed up with a two new singles in 2017.
