Album Notes

Steve Thorpe vocals, guitar, slide guitar and square neck Dobro with hard hitting soulful vocals. Funky peircing electric guitar and electric slide guitar solos and blues/jazz/fusion solos on the square neck dobro.
A lot of this project when completed with consist of very intracity arranged rhythm passes from the extreme rock/funk rhythm section of Nathan Thorpe on bass and Alex Petrosky on drums. This combination of 3 extremely talented and very diverse musicians is culminating into a heavy funky rocking machine, that also delivers some very smooth arrangements that have a very jazz fusion feel, as well as strong vocals.
Here are some video links as well as web site links to give you further insight into a very deep 3 piece group of guys.
