About Us
Based in St Petersburg, FL we are an eclectic group of musicians with influences ranging from jazz, funk, psychedelic rock, folk, and more. Casey - (Guitar and Vocals) has deep roots in bands such as the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, and takes influence from Jazz artists such as Wes Montgomery and John Coltrane. Stephen - (Guitar) fell in love with Guns 'N Roses at a young age and is the foundation of his playing. He has since evolved into an incredible Blues guitarist, with influences like Eric Clapton and Derek Trucks. Quin - (Bass) is a monster of a bass player and was inspired by Tom Petty at a VERY young age to pursue music. He is arguably one of the most creative bassists in the area, with influences like Berry Oakley and Phil Lesh. Sidney - (Drums) is a unique drummer that draws influence from almost every area of music that you can think of. When asked what his mindset is when he is playing, he says, "I'm just dancing". His influences range from Chris Bear to Morgan Simpson. Together we form a very distinct and unique Jam Band, that does covers from the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Eric Clapton, and more. We also write exploratory originals with open ended jams and complex arrangements.
