SEEKING
Piano, Keyboard, Bass Guitar.ABOUT
We are a performing band appearing in the Seneca / Anderson / Greenville areas, currently playing as a trio in larger venues, and as a duo (without our drummer) in smaller clubs. We prefer to focus on our original material, but the realities of the marketplace dictate that we often have to play cover tunes. At least we try to choose intelligent, fun material from artists like Sheryl Crow, TomPetty, Oasis, Natalie Merchant, Green Day, etc., along with classic rockers like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Eagles, and the like.

Influences
We come from widely divergent backgrounds, and each of us has brought our own influences with us to our music. As a result we weave everything from jazz, R&B, blues, funk, folk, and rock into the mix.
