Sounds LikeA very diverse, bouncy jam-band sensibility leaning towards a folk rock sound, definitely trying to be psychedelic for you, but with a kicking country-rock flavor. Makes you want to get up and dance....or stumble...or wonder what the hell is this? Perhaps Country & Eastern Jelly Roll...

I probably can record with you guys. The only thing is that currently I am inundated. I am doing an acoustic album by this great singer songwriter named Barrett St. George and also another bands not to mention my own cd. Once I finish one of these I would really like to help record you guys. When you mean live do you me in concert or live as in not multitracked?

Great stuff. I like your live recording of she's so fly. Great bluesharp stuff on that. If you ever want to play a show with us PLEASE let us know. We aren't as much as a jam band but live we are known to greatly lengthen our songs with lots of improvisation. Maybe the bands could jam on a few together!
