Artist description I grew up in border city Windsor, Ontario and I think my writing style reflects the diversity of influences that you get exposed to in that environment. On the surface the style of music varies from song to song but I believe there is a unifying vibe underlying all the songs on the album, and when we play live. I like to think driving rhythm guitar, off rhythm melodies on the keys, and a distinctive vocal phrasing and quality underly every song. I borrow from Rock'n'Roll, I use Jazz progressions, Latin rhythms, and a number of lyrical and vocal influences and end up with a Border City Rock'n'Roll Fusion!
