In July 2023, Nora and Stephanie released their debut EP Lady of the Lake on Jalopy Records. The release was followed by a duo performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. Folk Radio UK.wrote that the EP "leaves you wanting more," continuing, "There is a shrewd exuberance in the way Nora and Stephanie play together on this EP, taking turns to lead and leaving plenty ofspace for each other to shine. They play with consistent flair and an audible mastery of their instruments." Nora and Stephanie previously recorded together on Nora’s 2019 album Cinnamon Tree, and have performed at such renowned venues as The Kennedy Center, RoskildeFestival in Denmark, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and Philadelphia Folk Festival.
