How would you describe yourselves?
Friends who really enjoy playing and creating music. We love it 'live'!
Who are your main influences musically?
Music we grew up with The Doobie Brothers, James Brown,
Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Nile Rodgers - anything that grooves!
What do you hope to achieve in music?
I would like to raise my profile as a songwriter and have
an established artist/band 'cover' one of my songs!
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Every time a radio station plays one of our songs, that's
a highlight and thankfully it's happening more often these days. Getting airplay is an achievement and as a songwriter, it's cool to think that
a radio presenter likes your songs enough to add them to a playlist.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
My age! I want to forget my age! Creativity keeps you
young!
If you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
'Speeding Train' - it's catchy, energetic, it's about real
life and has a good message: Life is short, be grateful for this day!
Where can we listen to it?
Where can we find out more about your music?
Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
How can people support Independent artists? Well now that
you mention it...if you can, always press the 'buy' option. Every little helps to fund our next recordings and you'll feel so much better
having contributed to, and been a part of, our creative process - win win!
