Sinners & Saints formed in the spring of 2011. Before then Perry Fowler was a traveling troubadour and Mark Baran was playing in a country death band called Buck Mountain Stranglers (BMS). After they met in a smokey bar at one of Fowler's shows, Baran insisted that they team up and start playing music together. To this day Fowler thinks that Mark was really trying to say that he sucked on his own and needed Mark's help if he ever wanted to "make it." BMS was on the verge of not being a band any longer so Fowler reluctantly agreed to Baran's advances. Even-though BMS was one of Fowler's favorite bands and he hated to see them break up, he got a bad ass bass player out of it so it was all good. Since that time they have released an ep and played countless shows in and around the Carolinas and beyond.
