Our music is high energy, danceable, traditional and nontraditional at the same time. We are mixing it up with bluegrass, old time appalachian, rock, jazz, pop and irish....definitely based in roots music. Our home base is the Westport General Store, a great little restaurant/bar in the hill country along the Ohio River. Otherwise you can catch us at venues throughout the Louisville area. We guarantee you a good time!

Phillip, Are you guys playing anywhere soon? My husband and I would love to hear you guys play. I used to hear my dad sing "Working on a Building" all the time in church when I was little. Listening to it brought back some good memories of him. Thanks!
Thanks for the add -- and I'm speaking to my former bandmate here -- you still play like a mad mofo. Sounds awesome. Little bit different than what we used to do together. Still got that hilarious electric mandolin?
