From Robert Johnson to the Blues Brothers to Led Zeppelin with many eclectic journeys in-between. Other instruments utilized are Native American Love Flutes, Electric & Acoustic Guitars, 5 String Bass and double kick Drums/Percussion.

We had a great ’08 performing at BBQ Festivals, State & County Fairs, Benefits, Blues Concerts and much more, and have started out 2009 quite fine by performing at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues to kick off the rockin' season!

Watch for our brand new re-vamping of the ole classic "MEET ME WITH YOUR BLACK DRAWERS ON" with a groovin' bagpipe!
