Pruitt has been a road warrior since the release of Mantras playing in cities all around the country and major festivals, including Stagecoach, Railbird Festival, Calgary Stampede and Fairwell Festival.
Upon its release, Mantras garnered coverage from a wide range of media, including NPR Music, No Depression, Vulture, Entertainment Focus and much more.
