About Me

Not your daddy's folk band. Seth's been hooking lyrics and tunes together for years. He moved here to Tucson from New York, NY via Columbus, Ohio in the Spring of 2007. Having worked with cello and woodwinds before, he decided to stick with something along those lines for the fresh start here in the desert. The rest of us were already here and were each looking for something a little different than your standard line-up. A little patient searching, a lot of practice, and voila - a new, unique band is on the scene for your listening pleasure. So much to do..........we appreciate the support. FOR BOOKING email [email protected] - thanks!

a bands’ band....

"a bands' band" - that's what a friend who heard us at Barrio Brewery the other day called us. What does that mean?
