Artist History Timing is crucial for the success of any project. When Godfrey decided to start a smokin' country rockin' blues band, little did he know that magic was in the midst. On the other side of town, Stephen "Big Dog" Leal was scoping for the raw talent that he would soon find. By fate, the two met at a jam session in sunny Southern California and quickly realized that both had the same musical influences and love for hard core country music. It didn't take long for the duo to establish a six piece "West Coast Honky Tonk Country Rockin' Boogie Woogie Blues" band.

Instruments acoustic guitar, telecaster guitar, pedal steel guitar, mandolin, bass, drums
