becoming what many know to be as the Vallejo fan favorite. Over the next decade, the band continues releasing a healthy offering of albums to their loyal fanbase: 2004's trilogy-archive-releases: Black Sky, Leftovers, and Steamboat Live 97, Acousta (2006), Thicker Than Water (2008) and Brothers Brew (2014). Shortly after the release of Brothers Brew sources of the band mention artistic differences and/or a bit of inevitable burnout from two decades of non-stop touring becoming the main reason for the Vallejo brothers' gradual transition from touring artists to producers with a seemingly effective presence in the music industry. AJ Vallejo goes on to win Austin Chronicle's Guitar Player of the Year in 2016 and Producer of the Year three years in a row in 2014-2015-2016, launching indie label 10X Music Group and continues with both Bruce Castleberry on guitar and Alex Geismar on drums as roots-rock group, Brodie Lane. Alex Vallejo becomes director of Austin's School of Rock facilities, co-producer at EPS and Manager at Austin Music Foundation.
