  • Bio

    We started when Ken who was working as a solo performer in Faneuil Hall, started playing with Chris Frasco (guitar). Chris played with a vocalist and hand percussionist named Sean Rohrer, in a band named Awkward turtle, and Kenny would switch between Sean and Chris for weekend gigs. One night Sean and Chris both showed up for the gig, and it sounded awesome, so we decided to work as a trio. After a few shows like that, Chris switched to Bass guitar and we were solidified as a group. About 4 or 5 months later Chris decided to leave the band to focus more of his attention on Awkward Turtle and a jam band that he called the After Party. After auditioning way too many bass players we finally decided that Joe McEachern was our man. Joe has been working as a professional bass player for the last 5 years and fits very well into our sound of Acoustic Pop/Rock/Reggae. As the summer months approached we wanted to branch out out, so we hired a drummer (Daniel) to do some different clubs and other interesting venues. We're hoping to do some recording as a group soon, the originals are almost there and we are starting to prepare for the studio. Soon, I promise
