Description:
"I like to tell people that we play Organic Music. Which is any music played using only your body to play it. No pre-recording, no over-dubbing, no computer beats, and no effects...except for a little reverb. Musical influences range from everything and anything. Everything is influential, even the stuff that you hate; because it influences you to never ever replicate it. We are an original band that plays original music. At any given show we play, 95% of the show is original music, with a few bits and pieces of some classic artists interwoven into the show. We play our own renditions from a selection of songs ranging from Bill Withers, John Prine, Albert King, Dave, Black Crowes, Jack Johnson, et cetera. We are not like any of those artists, though we share some style and techniques with each of them. In fact, our style could be compared with many different genres of music including Jam, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk, Soul, Funk, et cetera. Most people have difficulty trying to desribe our sound, mostly because we are a little like everything, but not really like anything. We are the original Genre Good, Organic Music, preservative free since 2002." Mathew Haeffel
In addition to their captivating high energy performances, They can also put on dynamic and engaging acoustic shows...fitting as comfortably into an intimate coffeehouse as they do in a loud rock venue. They can adapt and play a wide array of covers if the situation calls for it, though they are not a cover band and would rather not. They try to support original music whenever possible, and hope that you will as well.
