The band plays original material that is rooted in Blues but also stretch out into a variety of sounds and grooves associated with Funk, Rock, Jazz, and Latin. No doubt the group likes to keep the sound diverse and interesting.
The band members learned their trade in years of performing with different bands and session musicians in the United States and Europe. At the heart of the band is its solid rhythm section with Jamie Dalton (drums) and Mark Sobus (bass). These two combined lay down the foundation for the extraordinary guitar work of Jake Dreier and the soulful vocals and lyrics of Juliette Michaele. The "icing" on the cake is delivered by Steve Lindeman's tasteful organ & piano chops.

old school classic style with current eclectic taste
author: brad wheeler
this band has determination as well as heart and chops, jake dreier is an excellent band leader, shining light on both old school blues classics as well as taking risks on re-interpretation of the blues idiom as it relates to todays current eclectic musical tastes, not bad for a guy who moved to america from germany. this band is worth listening too, and worthy of support from the greater utah musical community. –brad wheeler
