Our band was born one glorious pandemic day after months of composing and improvising on my electric guitar. I had always wanted to perform in a band focused on blues music, and after I sent a couple of rough demos of original songs to my long time friend and collaborator Gavin Marshall, we agreed it was now or never, and that we had to make a group. Then, I called up Sahand Moussavi, a brilliant violinist and keyboard player I had met by chance on the Lachine Canal one evening, and our group was born. We were inspired by the dynamic and sophisticated compositions of The Allman Brothers, the soulful power of Joe Cocker, and the story-based music of Paul Simon. Thus was born our particular style, drawn from electric blues, folk, jazz, and world music, bringing hard-driving rhythms, bold dynamics, and wide open improvisations to the stage.
