Sounds Like
Take a listen... trying not to sound like anybody, just original, good music that everybody will like and get something out of to counteract the modern disaster of popular music.
If we had to say so though, it's kinda like Allman Brothers Band meets Dave Matthews Band meets a little Elton John and Johnny Cash after they two of them just drank four scorpion bowls mixed with some crazy, fast guitar solos that get soulful as hell and then make you want to quit practicing your guitar and add in a little funky James Brown with a sprinkle of Bruce Hornsby, Eric Clapton, U2, The Boss and James Taylor all while standing on Blues Traveler's tour bus to enjoy the scenery and smoke a stogie. Something like that... ???

I would love it if you could play some funky music at a private party. My brother Dave Mitton might want to jam with you too possibly? If not the 18th definitely another time before August 15th? Hopefully, you all had a Happy 4th of July! I know I did. The friday night fireworks in Marion bombed, but I still celebrated with my bandmates from Providence. I wished you could of been there.
