Artist description Raw, passionate, soulful and gritty...classic American songwriting from its very first note.A pack of modern-day musical nomads wandering over a landscape of blues, folk and rock -- at times funky then mellow, ornery, comtemplative and moody. At times a blend of percussion carried on the back of a mandolin joyride. A hungover snapping turtle; a coffee house dreamer throwing the musical sucker punch.

Press Reviews " Full of introspection and contemplation, "Two Tone Throwback" grooves without any pretention, but is definately full of attitude, edge and quiet wisdom. Wrap up Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen and you might begin to understand this band. But don't let these big names fool you - this band is able to stand on its own without any commercial comparisons." EVAN LANE - Press Republican, Plattsburgh, NY----------"Any song that has the lyric, 'I believe I saw an angel with wingtips on her shoes' is very alright with me. Incredibly tunes...lyrics that hit me in the gut with each listen." - BRUCE YOUNG - Adirondack Daily Enterprise----------"Awesome! I loved this CD from the moment I heard it. Extremely cool acoustic & roots rock.I hear a.k.a. george as a new hip Bob Dylan. I've taken the liberty of adding "Shame" to my rootsRadio channel and "Just a Letter" & "Elitist Friends" to my acousticRadio channel. And I must say that "Look Away" is a great song as well." - JEFF burnyerradio.com
