You never know who is gonna show up for the gig... and the extended family (Gaffney, Gooch, Lisa, Hopepa, Deva, Jere Toy, Tipsy Brown...) are as much a part of this as we are.
Influences: You name it... afro, brazilian, funk, soul, jazz, broken, folk, hip hop, r'n'b. If it's true, honest and open we take it all in.
