The band, recognized for their "unique, real and original" instrumentation, vocals, and harmonies, consists of Jeff Foss on acoustic guitar, vocals, slide whistle; Vincent McCarthy on saxophone, clarinet, percussion (shakers, of course) and harmonica; Barry Oates on acoustic guitar, vocals, bass, percussion and Jeff Timperi on trumpet and flugelhorn. Their innovative line-up and sound earned them a seat as one of the top artists of 2004 on MP3Unsinged.com and a lot of attention on the world wide web from music enthusiasts.
Two of the band members are childhood chums who have been making noise since the bicentennial. The other two members came to form the band through a graduate school connection. Home studio and internet MP3 technology has given them recent recognition and the opportunity to capture and share original songs and sounds with many world-wide listeners tapping into the new Indie music sites cropping up every day. As the band has endeavored to use their muse as a vehicle for helping those in need, they have in turn raised thousands of dollars for many worthwhile organizations.
A percentage of proceeds from their 12 track self titled album will benefit HAWC an organization raising awareness and taking action to end men's abuse against woman and their children.
