A Fusion of Jazz, Rock, Funk, and Blues

The driving desire of our band  is to put forward fun and intricate compositions in a bed of highly energetic playing.  We strive to play music that is as much fun to play as it is to listen to.

The songs take you on a journey through funky grooves, gentle passages, aggressive solos, and detailed ensemble playing and even some vocals. The guitar parts present sounds that are classic to the instrument, but also, with the MIDI technology, provide other sounds you would never expect to hear from a guitar. Sounds like lush pads, organs and synth sounds that give the band a big and exhilarating lift.

The band has shared tones with some of the best players you will likely hear. It is so much fun to play together with true believers in excellence in instrumental music. The songs are usually very involved and intricate (true to the style of fusion). But there is also groove oriented material and even some vocals. Lots of MIDI guitar stuff which really increases the overall presence of the band.
