About Me

Southern-fried pop rock with a hint of soul...Take two kids who grew up in Georgia devouring all sorts of American popular music, add one amazing multi-instrumentalist, New York City, two middle-American redheads with beards, a bassist, 5 microphones, a CSNY fixation, Stevie Wonder, Sonny Terry, and an obsession with the road...throw it all in a blender and count to six.
