"No pigeon holing this band--Blues and American Roots firmly planted, yet not like anything you've heard or seen before. The band prides itself on it's ability to perform diversely and dynamically, playing full blown concerts to small  'stripped down' semi-acoustic shows, traditional blues to their trademarked ‘Grease Punk’ sound."
