The band is a diverse musical entertainment experience covering classic rock, 80's/90's/00's/ 10's, pop, country, alternative and a few surprises along the way. Our philosophy is pretty simple; we play "all the music that people love to sing-to, dance-to and drink to"... and we challenge any audience to have as much fun as we do! We love to really engage with the crowd and get them involved with our performance so they're an active part of the experience and we have plenty of satisfied customers to prove it, from the local bar circuit to large corporate events, weddings and private parties.
