"The alternative rock group formed in 2017 and was well received, including selling out the 40 Watt Club and going on tour. But in 2019 as some members approached graduation and talks of legitimizing the band as a business came up, Jester fizzled out. Trautwein slowly began playing solo shows under his name before establishing Well Kept as the alias for this new music endeavor he was spearheading." - Flagpole
