A new band with a fresh sound. Funky blend of rock, jazz, classical and world influences with a progressive message. It's all the hope and the darkness, the passion and the infinite melancholy that dwells deep within the soul. Oooh- that's rich!

It can be a crime. Chris Thile is SO good, it's a sin... that's almost crime, right? ;) Also, I found this quote: "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." ~Hunter S. Thompson
Hey Jeremy - Your tunes are sounding great. Can't wait to hear your other stuff. You sound alot like Jim Morrison. Have a good new years, see you when school starts. Collin
