You might like our music if you like....

Acoustic rock with a little edge and very strong rhythms. It’s Melissa Etheridge’s rhythms mixed with Dylan’s lyrics with a powerful Latin percussion, ranging from sultry to staccato and a variety of vocals.

Best show the band ever played?

It may sound cliché, but we give our best at every show. All four bandmates really like each other and want everyone to have a great gig. You can see the energy being exchanged as we feed off one another and you can hear it in our music.

Worst show the band ever played?

It wasn’t really the worst but the most unusual. We played in the center of town in South Dayton. The people pulled up around the band in their cars (without getting out) and at the end of each song they would “honk” their horns as applause. It was kind of a weird band dream.

Anything else you would like our readers to know about the band?

Yes. See the band live. We have not captured our sound on CD. The interaction and the love of what we are doing can only be experienced live.
