A truly special moment in the creation of The Quilt came when Travis McCoy got to collaborate with one of his heroes, Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates fame. “At the end of the song [when they were recording it in Hall’s studio], [Hall] did this stream of consciousness, freestyle improv thing,” McCoy recalls. “I’m 27 years old, and I broke down uncontrollably, crying my eyes out.”

Listen to the track here, then watch the video below and hear all that Travis had to say about working with Daryl Hall.
