In April 2021, they opened for Nashville locals - The Criticals - at a sold-out Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago. Pepper Said just relocated from Nashville, TN to Chicago,IL. They love the authenticity of the local scene here and had a blast at their first show as locals at a very packed Beat Kitchen.

Their 2021 debut EP, So Dramatic, is an anthology about discovering yourself through pain and reflection as well as fun and nonsense.
