About Me



The music is like surfing on sweet lemon butter...
...a mixture of reggae, rock, blues, jazz, and funk with acoustic stylings that combine to create a new genre that is reminiscent of classic rock. We like to call it feel good music, and we love spreading the feel good vibes to everyone regardless of musical preference. In fact it’s almost idyllistic....

They say that some people pay so much attention to their reputation that they lose track of their character.

We practice as often as we can which in most cases for us is everyday for hours on end. When you share a love for music like we have it is easy to get lost in your work (we call it fun). We just hope that you enjoy our music as much as we enjoy writing it.
