They may have lunched alone in high school, but these dorks have grown up to swing and salsa up a storm. A diverse group of musicians composed of a rhythm reverend Clarinetist switching up on percussionist, classically trained Bassoonist who also does most of the singing, a thrashing Guitarist with a dorky smile and a Bass player with a lot to say. They have combined their study of Jazz, African, Classical, Latin, Renaissance, and Funk into a repertoire of standards and originals to make you swing your booty and stomp your feet.
I've uploaded some photos onto my myspace photos from when you played at Sunward Co-op. I've got more to add, but right now they are on Facebook.......
