J (lead vocals and guitar) has been playing guitar and singing for over 17 years. He was hooked on music at an early age when he attended a performing arts school in Portland, Oregon and was forced to learn how to play the cello. His sister gave him the Moving Pictures album by Rush and it only took about 1 day for him to become obsessed with the guitar. The next day he was in his father’s workshop trying to construct a guitar out of some scraps of plywood and rubber bands. A few years later he discovered his dad’s classical guitar in the attic and taught himself how to play. He has played in bands in the suburbs of Chicago and most recently in the Daytona Beach and Orlando areas. He toyed around with starting a full blown band in the Charlotte area but soon discovered how difficult it could be coordinating practice times with an airline schedule. Fortunately he found a another employee at his company who understood his unusual schedule and was ready to rock. P (vocals and lead guitar) has been playing guitar and singing for more than 20 years. He started writing originals and recording them during his middle school years in Michigan. He really got into the music scene during his 20’s while living in Chicago. He played bass in several bands and started out on the local basement and party scene eventually graduating to bars, pubs, and clubs. His most recent project, Jiff and The Choosey Mothers, has played the party and club scene in the Charlotte area.

Sounds Like
If Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Winger, Ratt, and Motley Crue all hooked up with The Go Go's and had kids they wouldn't even come close to duplicating our sound. They would try to rock like we do, but we would destroy them.
We're an acoustic duo that's perfect for just about any venue. While J rocks the mic on vocals P sits back and shreds away on lead guitar. Not just your typical happy hour acoustic show, we're out to truly entertain. Definitely love to make people laugh and have a blast.

My man what's happening? I'm in Brazil right now and its been fun so far. Working hard, lots of shows but they are going well. We play for 8,000 people a night so thats been fun. I was in Argentina last month and that was kick ass as well. Next week we are going to Rio for 3 weeks, I hear our hotel is on the beach so I'm looking forward to that. What can I say it beats the hell out of a FAY overnight. How are things back at work? You back on line? What seat? Give me an update I haven't heard much. Take buddy and talk to you soon.
