Sounds Like: When we play originals we definately have our own sound. When we play covers. sometimes we choose a close copy, and sometimes we add our own touch. It's fun to do it both ways.We have some great talent all around with a lead vocalist whose influences are Janis Joplin, Eta James, and Ani Difranco and a lead guitar player who can play Clapton or Hendrix without missing a note.
