About Me

Bobbo and Tracy moved West. John was already here. He stepped up and took over on the drums. Gregg showed up with a strat and a smile - he plays guitar. Geoff got a keyboard and mandolin and we said stand over there. We are greater than the sum of our parts. We can't play quiet. We've tried. We thought we were alt.country for a while but it turns out we're a rock band. O.K. so we're a rock band with some pretty songs. We call ourselves Americana Rock. I had a new friend nail it on the head - he said "I like pedal steel and feedback." Mix the Gram Parsons with a bit of Joe Strummer, plug it in and hit the overdrive.
