Three-piece blues rock from Santa Rosa Beach with a psychedelic country streak and plenty of room to stretch out. Eric's guitar leads, Derek and Lucas push it along, and all three sing. More than a hundred covers, Johnny Cash to Peter Gabriel, and a growing pile of funky originals. Whatever the room wants, it's in their wheelhouse.

Since 2025 the band has held standing gigs at Down Island Gulf Seafood, SteamBoat Grill 30A, The Oarhouse and Boggy Boys Pizza, two to three nights a month at each. Crowds run 20 to 50 on a slow night and fill the room on a good one.
