A guitar and organ driven band, it was formed in 2014 by Dundee born guitarist Simon Kennedy. Enlisting Mirek Hodun on the organ they set about writing and producing their debut album Make Up Your Mind themselves which was well received by critics and fans alike with BBC Radio 2’s Paul Jones saying the band was “deservedly the recipients of a great deal of praise” and the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association voting it their Album of the Month.

In 2015 Edinburgh based session drummer Brian MacLeod was brought in to complete the live line-up of guitar, organ and drums.

With the success of the debut album they have been sought out to play major festivals such as Perth’s Southern Fried Festival, The Glasgow’s Merchant City Festival and will this year headline The Orkney Blues Festival. 

At the end of the year they will also be playing at The Edinburgh Blues Club, Scotland’s biggest blues club, in support of Big Joe Louis.
