Artist History New Wine came together in 1998, and began playing a few coffeehouses here and there. We have played bigger gigs at churches and at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden. Our sound is ever changing, hence the name of our first album - Never The Same.

Group Members Sax lead has 26+ years of experience and has played all over the world, and plays locally for profit on a regular basis. Keyboard/vintage saxman has played on international tour for 3 years, and has a very simple syncopated style on synthesizer. Our Drummer is 20 years old and has a hip-hop background which lends a very interesting sound to some of our tunes. Our talented Bass man has played guitar since he could walk. Our ethnic percussion/acoustic guitar guy is there.
