Influences: As a group we listen to all types of music. Some of our influences would be Mongo Santamaria, John Coltrane, The Rollings Stones, Bach, Hillsong and many,many more. Also I personally also enjoy the written word a favorite poet and friend of mine is Burma Brown his work can be seen at www.ironwoodcorner.com please give him a listen.
Sounds Like: We as a group are still evolving developing a "sound" with each new tune we compose. "When I'm All Alone" is the most recent completed composition which you can hopefully hear or have heard on this site. There are other tunes in progress now but are not ready for posting here yet. We hope that you will help us develope our sound by visiting www.cdbaby.com/smcgill and purchasing one of our CD's so that we can finance a new recording that we so much would like to give share with everyone. we are trying to blend gospel (because The Creator is in everything that we do) afro-cuban drumming, jazz, blues, rock & roll, and classical styles together into something new, fresh, warm, uplifting and spiritual. We would like our music to be something that touches you when you are down and lifts you up, gives you hope and strength to carry on. We would like our music to touch you when you are happy and reenforces everything that you feel is right in the world.
