CAR287
The Private Ear Sessions
The band recorded their first full album in June of 2024 at Private Ear Recording Studio in Winnipeg, Canada.
Covers to Originals, Our Story
Our band came together as a bunch of guys who had played various types of music with different musical backgrounds. We learned each others's music and started playing some live shows, all covers. We were just getting pretty good and ready to play some bigger venues when the pandemic hit. Stalled and looking for an outlet, at some point we started collaborating on originals!
Where are we going?
We are continuing to write new material. We recorded in June of 2024 with Private Ear Studios. We are itching to share some of these new tunes, cause we think they are really good. Hopefully this summer we will see you all at some point in a crowd...and having a blast. Look to this site and our social media for updates...we are coming at ya! Sign up for updates from the band....pop us a message and let us know what you think!!
Our guitar picks get around!

Jeff stepped in for Wayne just as the band started it's voyage into writing original tunes. His rhythms created a classic sound on early tunes like Rescue me and In the Blue Hour. He was a huge part of the early successes of this band.
