When not on a national tour, we perform regionally across the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana) at festivals and local venues. We feature an eclectic mix of rocking Blues, Rock-N-Roll, R&B, Soul, and other styles. We're known for our performance skills and good music and put on a funny, engaging, and masterful show.
