This central Ontario-based, Canadian 5-member blues band plays the Chicago style of electric blues...with a touch of rock, R&B, and country added for spice. They often play in pubs and venues wanting fun, uncomplicated entertainment. As well, they perform at large festivals, special events, and private parties.
