Thanks for the compliment Dan!  We hope to get to see you in your various guises (I'm particularly interested in your jazz incarnation). A phone call or visit is in order. Maybe the only way we can see each other play is to book a joint gig this Fall. Best to you and yours!

Our recipe is you put 5 people in the same room with different musical tastes and you stir it well until they blend nice. Then you get that taste and cool sounds from something sweet to something sassy with a little sax solo in it.
You get a blend of smooth lite contemporary to heavy edgy rock.....
How is that for a recipe?
