This four piece band swings, playing great grooves fused with burning harp and smoking guitar; this is no-frills party music. A firm favourite in Auckland’s Blues scene, this band is well versed on what it takes to please a crowd exhibiting levels of professionalism and musicianship that makes it easy to become a dedicated fan. It’s plain to see right away that these guys love the music they make together. Not surprisingly, their loyal fan base continues to grow every month as a result.
