Influences: We draw from a wide variety of musical styles. All the members of the band have come from different musical backgrounds, so it makes for some very interesting stylistic mixes. Most all of us come from a rock n roll background of one form or another. Bryan was the front man for a 80'-90's heavy metal band when he first began. Bill played in a surf-rock/blues group in the Ann Arbor, MI area for a number of years. Bob has played everything from blues to hard rock to country swing. Donn has a Motown upbringing. Tracy is a rocker from way-back. All of us have come together under a "Blues" umbrella, and now incorporate that into a Southern Rock format. If you're looking for that mile-long list of band and artist names like a lot of other bands have on their spaces, then here goes (in no particular order)...The Allman Brothers Band, Bob Segar, AC/DC, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Taj Mahal, Guy Forsyth, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, James Brown, Bobby "Blue" Bland, John Mayer, Drew Pentkowski, Dreck Trucks, Eric Clapton, Bill Newland, Bo Diddley, George Thoroughood, Donn Johnson, Monty Python, Larry, Moe and Curly, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Jeff Beck, Chuck berry, the Beach Boys, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Wild, Alice Cooper, BTO, CCR, BMW, IBM, CIA, DUI, DOA, Tracy Kent, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Stevie Wonder, Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, Bill Withers, Frank Zappa, Frank Sinatra, Hank Sinatra (you know who you are!), Keb Mo, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Wilson Picket, Jackie Wilson, Mozart, Ronnie Earl, Steve Earl, Larry, Darryl and Darryl, Bryan Michael Fischer, ZZ Top, The Who, The Rolling Stones, John Fogarty, The Dude, Buddy Guy, Duke Robilard, Smokey Robinson, and all the other music we listen to every day. Every musician is a sponge, soaking up all the music we hear throughout the days, and then spitting it back out in some way or another. We are all a product of our musical environments.
