Band Members:
johnny vogelsang::bass
eldridge goins::drums//percussion
brad houser::bari sax//bass clarinet
laura scarborough::vibraphones//accordian
stephen orsak:: guitar//synth//other beautitude (production on Shudders & Rings)
Influences: stevie wonder made me want to sing.
bob marley made me want to wail.
paul simon made me want to write.
ani difranco made me want to pluck & strum.
the following made me curious about beats, rhymes, rhythm and tone::lauryn hill, fiona apple, erykah badu, joni mitchell, michael jackson, marisa monte, mos def, wilco, the roots, zap mama, digable planets & prince.

Sounds Like: *specifically, a meshing of Patty Griffin, Ani Difranco, Mazzy Star, Erykah Badu, Fiona Apple, some say Sting (vocal stylings), also Esthero, Carla Bruni and i've had some Nelly Furtado comparisons, and Sade (which makes me happy). *metaphorically, the time right before a storm hits...the smell of rain, pressure in the air, warm breezes, electrical skin tingling...sexy.

Record Label: what's a record label?
Type of Label: None
