They have also won awards for their original music from the NC Songwriters Co-op.

The band officially came together and was formed in 2004. With the exception of Nathan, all were former members of other bands through previous years.

Two of the members met through a mutual friend. After finding that each had a love for music, they decided to get together to "jam" sometime. Three of the members got together for this first "jam session". It was magic!

"Not often do you get people that truly want to play with each other," said one of the members. "Most musicians enjoy doing their own thing and expect the rest to follow. That's not what makes for a great band." For the first time in decades, Rick noticed a special mix of talent.

Mike said he had a friend that was a great singer. How many times have we heard that one? "O.K. Let's get together sometime and bring your singer friend." When Payton showed up to sing, little did some of the other band members know that this guy was a trained professional. His training became obvious immediately.

The age difference has allowed the group to come up with a mix unlike so many other bands. From Elvis to Incubus, Otis to Green Day, The Temptations to Lenny Kravitz, Rod Stewart to Jack Johnson. You name it. This group has it all.

Through their combined experience of playing in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, these guys play from funk to swing and everything in between. Beach music and classic rock included.

Why such a wide diversity? Well, age difference did play some part. However, Mike and Payton are professional dancers. In competition and appearing in movies, dance is what motivated these guys. Rick was an old southern rocker that married a disco lady. There was no choice for them to play anything but dance music.

If you want a band to get people to dance, this is the band that can do it. Guests of all ages appreciate the mix of music this band performs.

So if you're planning a corporate event, private party, fund raiser, special event, or wedding reception, this is the band that will make things happen. Use the rest of this web site to learn more about the band or CONTACT them today.
