Unique & powerful vocals, BIG guitar, groove-oriented rock & roll with a full dropper of Blues coloring.
Their audience appeal is wide, from 20-year-olds to 80-year-olds and all races and color. Once you see their show you will understand why people are captivated and come back for more. They know how to bring an audience together and allow them to feel something deep within their souls they never thought existed. Considering that each section of this band is more than physically powerful, there is plenty of space within the band's material for intense and muscular soloing from each member.
Lead vocalist, Shari Puorto (Winner: Americana, Blues,
Roots song of the year for song, Free @ Los Angeles
Music Awards, 2010 & Best Female Vocalist @ South Bay
