These musicians come together beautifully. The sound is a bit southwestern, yet I personally enjoy the song Postcards. I've heard it only a few times and can't wait for my new CD to arrive this week!

Provocative melodies and profound lyrics speak to a realm deep within the listen
author: The Blue Dog Reviews
An exciting new find which can not easily be categorized within the limitations of traditional musical labels. Lead singer Cole's seductive vocal stylings blend perfectly with the driving melodies of Dreher and Pappas. Each song seems to strike an individual chord deep within the listener.
