Blue Summit play an unreleased song called "Lemons And Tangerines" live in concert at The Independent in San Francisco, CA on May 24, 2019. Lemons And Tangerines was eventually released in August 2021 on the I'll Come Back album. Blue Summit are AJ Lee (lead vocals & mandolin), Jesse Fichman (guitar), Sully Tuttle (guitar) and Chad Bowen (bass). Joining them onstage was Jan Purat (fiddle). For this song, AJ and Jesse traded instruments, with Jesse taking a turn at the mandolin. Blue Summit opened for Molly Tuttle (Sully's sister) this one show, though they were not on tour together.

Aissa "AJ" Lee plays the guitar, mandolin and fiddle, and has been been named the Northern California Bluegrass Society’s best female vocalist multiple times. By the time she was 12, she was playing in two bluegrass bands. The next year, Mother Jones magazine wrote an article about her entitled "Could This Kid Be the Next Alison Krauss?"
