We've got a pretty original sound - we play many genres and are influenced by many time periods.

While we have our own "sound" we also have a lot of originals that don't fit that sound. We like to play around and experiment.

We're a young band and somewhat green, but smart and looking to make something positive happen with music.

Not expectin' riches...but wouldn't be adverse to making some living expense $ - maybe looking to road trip in the next year - playing where ever we can to spread the love... sound interesting?

practice 3x's a week or more. All original music...with the occassional revinvented cover.

On a very basic level, the music is some sort of hybrid cross of delta blues-influenced torch songs...with a kaliedescope range of other influential (to us) musicians and styles woven throughout. The sound is minimalist by choice and necessity, with a real, live organic thing going on. More than anything else the music is emotional in nature - lyrically and in intent. We want you to feel something when you listen.

Equipment List:

We've obviously all got our own instruments, amps, etc.

We haven't got a lot of PA Equipment as everywhere we play is either completely acoustic or we use the House PA System - however it's not out of the question that we'll need to acquire some equipment soon...
