Have you performed in front of an audience?
We love to perform! Playing outdoors is my favorite, but when we played the Blue Note in NY was one of those amazing moments... and, we'll be back there on July 6th!
Your musical influences
We play a combination of many different styles, held together by the glue of jazz/improvised music. In one song we can go from slammin' funk to bebop, fusion or ambient music.
Keeping it interesting is our goal.
