The band reunited on the the eve of the album release (October 15, 2020) for the first time since the live recording sessions. Two online performances were live-streamed with video provided by Veeps.com. Ty Bailie filled in for Andrew Kesler on keys as the US Canadian border remained closed at that time.[7] The release event consisted of two online performances to accommodate international time zones and viewership. The event(s) were hosted by Feinstein's at Vitello's in Studio City, CA without a live audience present due to lingering Covid-19 concerns.[8]
