Influences
VARIOUS, MYRIAD, SUNDRY & SPLENDID!
Although by no means a cover bandwe pride ourselves on interpreting and blowin' the dust off of yesterday's forgotten gems! Best classified as "ROOTS MUSIC" we draw on a rich tapestric legacy of obscure but somehow familiar and always pleasing sounds that shaped who we are today! Our set lists include an extraordinary variety of our interpretations of mostly unsung classic material from camps as diverse as R&B, blues, rock 'n roll, zydeco and other related American music art forms. Individual artists whose tunes we cover range from the obscure (Hank Ballard and the Midniters, Lloyd Price, Earl King, Clarence Frogman Henry) to carefully culled selections from more mainstream players (Freddie King, Otis Redding, The Meters, Little Feat, Martha and the Vandellas, Smokey Robinson, The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Percy Sledge, T Bone Walker, Johnny Winter, Ry Cooder & Gram Parsons). to name but a few.
