About Me

"Finding its feet and inspiration in the Blues, the band composes its own material that brings a new edge to Blues-based rock and pop.A well known fixture on the live indie circuit, their energetic Blues interpretations, thumping rhythms and dynamic improvisations will stir your soul.Each member is an established musician in their own right, and together, they make an explosive combination with the electric chemistry and seamless communication among the band members bringing a delightfully unexpected depth and complexity to their music.This band is a must-see live." - Vicky Lam, JAMS Magazine (Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies)
