Artist description We sing about what we feel and what we have learned, and back that up with acoustic guitar and hand percussion. Vocal harmonies are a definite trait of our sound. When it comes to styles, our songs vary:we've got some rock, some folk, some blues, and probably other stuff too. We try to incorporate evocative, thoughtful lyrics, tight harmony, creative guitar work, and a steady dose of percussion to form a simple, yet powerful sound.

Music Style Christian acoustic folk-rock

Musical Influences Waterdeep, Caedmon's Call, Eric Clapton, Indigo Girls, Counting Crows, James Taylor, Jennifer Knapp, Bob Dylan
