Gray and Williams joined the lineup soon thereafter and the band was frequently found busking on the corner of Church and Market Streets in Charleston. Their Irish influences began to blend with an alternative rock sound, and the public took notice. Jump, Little Children recorded and released The Licorice Tea Demos in early 1995 and toured the Southeast with vigor. They continued to gain local notoriety and received regional radio airplay for the song “Quiet.” Regular touring continued throughout 1996 and 1997, including the first of what would become a yearly tradition: New Year’s shows at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston.
