Guitarist DAVID MALACHOWSKI
is usually seen leading the band for other artists (shania twain) or as a member of seminal groups (savoy brown, commander cody and his lost planet airmen) here he fronts a band of brilliant musicians whose improvisional twists and turns never cease to amaze and inspire.

Singer/songwriter MACHAN TAYLOR
has a brilliant, soaring, flexible, emotive voice that makes your jaw drop. Known for her background vocal work with Sting, Pink Floyd, Govt. Mule and George Benson as well as for her own Brazilian based fare, Taylor has it all.

Harmonica man DENNIS GRUENLING
could be the best new harp player on the scene-his tone and chops just staggering.

Journeyman keyboardist PETE LEVIN
(paul simon, annie lennox, gil evans) pushes the project to a higher level with his monster chops and wry humor.
[PETE'S MYSPACE PAGE]
bass player GRAHAM MABY is certianly one of the most legendary musicians in the world, known for his work with Joe Jackson, Marshall Crenshaw, They Might Be Giants, Shania Twain and others, his melodic touch is simply unparalleled.
[GRAHAM'S WIKIPEDIA PAGE]
keyboardist DANIEL A WEISS is know for his work on the concert stage with such artists as Joan Osborne, Valerie Carter and Cassidy (Antigone Rising) as well as on Broadway in productions like Rent. His impressive technique and laid back manner is always a plus.

drummer GARY BURKE was the thunder in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Tour, countless tours with Joe Jackson, and numerous gigs with Rick Danko, Shania Twain and Professor Louie and the Crowmatix. His behind the beat groove is to die for ...
[GARY'S JOE JACKSON ARCHIVE PAGE]
Often hemmed in by the constraints of other artists, here MALACHOWSKI moves around as he pleases, playing with power, passion and abandon, going out on a limb, paying homage to his heroes as well as injecting his own british blues based tunes.
