Artist description A different sound with mention of a jazz fusion funk style, but definitely with a jamband quality. Thought of as more mellow, rock oriented music with slower stuff but very very versatile. Every member in the group can play more than one instrument, so instrument changes during sets is very typical for the group.

Music Style jazz fusion funk with a big jamband influence

Musical Influences Phish, Umphrey's McGee, Grateful Dead, Be la Fleck and the Flecktones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, String Cheese Incident, and many many others
