Sounds Like: The Jimi Vincent Band. We like to play with plenty of solo space and with high energy. Picture in your mind aggressive guitar, both in rhythm and solo, along with a screaming B-3 and a strong bottom end. Some say the Hammond is sometimes like having a horn section doing stabs here and there.Both Jimi and Sam have strong voices that lean toward the gravel side of life, each with their own unique style.
