About Me

Our main focus is to give the audience the chance to listen to and enjoy the music of Genesis from the 1970's era, as cherished by so many fans.We are all passionate fans of this great music. As such, we feel that to honor the music of Genesis of old, the use of vintage instruments (like ARPs, RMI, double neck Shergold, Mellotron samples, bass pedals) is necessary to correctly reproduce these classic pieces of music.Check out our blog postings for some behind the scenes info. from the band.
