Sounds Like
uhhh, well you would have to put about nine genras (Blues, rock, folk, Bluegrass etc) into a blender, then put it on full speed, then pour it out, and let it chill out a bit in the fridge.
Closest call would be:
NickleCreek meets Mott the Hoople and Poco in one long night.
And for you the younger audience, who are not familiar with these bands, you can say they are a great combination between the more common names of The Stones and Bob Dylan, just acoustic all the way.
Take three different Generations, three different background genres, and then tell those same people to play acoustic music. Well sometimes I guess you get lucky. In their case after seven years of faithful practice, and song writting they have ended up developing truely their own sound.
Have Over sixty original songs, and can preform over fifty covers.

Every Christmas season, I find myself wondering, what kind of a kid was Jesus? I mean, after he got himself out of the manger? We shot this video in 1992 with my daughter Willow. It's won some awards and is used in churches, temples & Sunday school classes. It addresses homelessness and caring for each other on this planet. It's called WHEN JESUS WAS A KID. Feel free to pass this on to friends and family. Happy, merry, warm and loving holidays to you and your loved ones. Bye for now - Peter Alsop
