The Staves began performing together at open-mic nights in Watford hosted by a local pub, The Horns. Originally performing as The Staveley-Taylors, the trio later changed their name to The Staves.
In November 2023, The Staves announced their fifth LP, All Now, and released the title track, having previously shared another song from the record, 'You Held It All'. The album will be their first as a two-piece, after the departure of Emily Staveley-Taylor
