ABOUT

We’re a fresh band out of Boulder County / north Denver looking to cook up some blues, funk and soul into a tasty dish. Right now, it’s just the three of us - drums, bass, guitar/vox - but we’re looking for others to join our funky jams. Keys and vocals are probably at the top of our wishlist, but if you love music as much as we do and think you can add something awesome, hit us up!

We’re mixing up covers and originals, so you’ll need to do some homework but be ready to try new stuff as the mood takes us. Even better if you bring ideas to the party.

I've uploaded a rough (rough!) taster from a rehearsal. Far from polished, but that's why we rehearse, right?

Here are some tunes we’ve been trying on for size:

- One Note Brown - New Mastersounds
- Brown Eyed Women - Grateful Dead
- Hottentot - MSMW
- She Caught the Katy - Taj Mahal
- Everything I Do Gon’ Be Funky - Lee Dorsey
- Ain’t No Use - The Meters

**We’re Searching For:**
- A **vocalist** with a knack for soul and a heart full of music.
- A **keyboard player** to add some magic into the mix.

**The Lowdown:**
- **Where:** Jamming in Dacono. Aiming to get on the Denver Metro / Colorado festival scene
- **Who:** We’re in our 40s but age is just a number here. It’s all about the vibe.

**Why Us?**
- You’ll be part of shaping something from the ground up. Ever wanted to be in at the start of something great? Here’s your chance.
- We’re all about the music and the fun of creating it together.
- Great chance to dive into the local music scene. If you’ve got connections, awesome. If not, we’ll make them together.

**Got What It Takes?**
If you’re down to start something new and ready to jam, let’s chat. Tell us about yourself, maybe share some tunes you’ve done. Let's make some music that feels good and gets people moving.

Let’s make the music we wish we were listening to.

P.S. The band name isn’t a keeper, just a daft placeholder.
