The band plays very cool music from the 70’s to the present – Steely Dan, Paul Simon, Hall and Oates, Steve Miller, and so many more – rearranged in a very familiar, but very new and funky style. The music is performed with uncompromising tightness, and musicianship, but mostly evocative and passionate. Each player is often individually featured, and combined with Mike’s smooth and tasteful vocals, an exciting new sound is readily apparent. You MUST come and check this out. You will be very happy you did!”
