Sounds Like
A classic rock band sound that is somewhere between the Doors and the soft rock of Dan Fogelberg. Four multi-instrumental lead singers that play a variety of styles
We are four musicians with years performing classic rock and covers all over Colorado playing music spanning four decades. We also write and perform our own originals that range in styles from rock to ballads to alt-country.
Sometimes politics and culture seeps its way into our music, sometimes it's just plain rock and roll! We are ultimately a dance band, though we mix acoustic and folk-oriented music into our gigs. We celebrate sounds of the past while making music for the moment.
You can sometimes catch us performing in an acoustic setting as our spinoff group of the Paperback Writers - First Chapter. Rock to acoustic, we do it all!
This site represents samples of our original material for your enjoyment. We hope you enjoy, and feel free to give us feedback.
