Artist History Flash Gordon singer / songwriter plays flute & saxophone. His last band for 7 years played their final gig October of 1999. Flash wanted a change from the George Thorogood driving sound of The Pundits and wanted a more mature, yet still rocking sound. This project was inspired by listening to the early Fairport Convention & Pentangle catalogues and began in December of 2000. Hooking up with acoustic guitar player Glenn Smith, Flash & Glenn started writing songs. Flash knew he wanted an acoustic bass player and called jazz bassist Glenn Stevenson into the mix. For a change Flash decided congas & various instruments of percussion would hold down the rhythm instead of the traditional drum kit. The last thing in his head (musically) for this project was a violin player and at WMNF 88.5 Tampa's Tropical Heatwave party Flash ran into that very player. The group started writing together and recording and have come up with a very unique sound.
