Monk and Neagle met in college; after graduating, Neagle worked as a pastor while Monk released two solo albums through Grassroots Music, I Wait (1999) and Stars Would Fall (2003).[1]

In 2003, the two began performing together when Monk asked Neagle to play with him on tour with Shane and Shane.[1] Neagle released his own independent solo record before the two officially signed with Flicker Records as a group. Their debut self-titled album followed in August 2004. Monk and Neagle as of recently have signed with Reunion Records.[2][3]

Their second album, The Twenty-First Time, was released in 2007, and peaked at #17 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart and #12 on the Heatseekers chart.[4] As of January 2011, the duo's website is no longer registered,[5] and they no longer appear on the roster of artists at Flicker Records.[6]
