In the summer/fall of 1967 The Churls played eight weeks as the house band at The Penny Farthing plus gigs at The Strawberry Patch, Charlie Brown's and The Rock Pile.

The Churls were discovered by the Everly Brothers who were in Toronto playing at the King Edward Hotel. The duo sent up a scout from PIE Productions in New York, and the Churls were soon signed to Blood, Sweat & Tears' management company Glotzer and Katz in the winter of 1967.

Their first gig in New York was at the infamous Café a Go-Go on Bleeker Street in the East Village. They went on to play regularly at 'The Scene' on 42nd and 8th Streets. Regular gigs in Hollywood, California followed and included The Whisky a-Go-Go, The Experience and The Electric Circus. Their 1968 debut album featured future Leigh Ashford keyboardist Newton Garwood. Garwood was also featured keyboardist and writer/arranger on The Churls' second album 'Send Me No Flowers'. The album was recorded at A & M Records Studios in Hollywood, California
