This well-rounded, versatile band of hard-working Peoria area musicians plays everything from traditional blues, jazz and bluegrass, to gospel, acoustic, rock, reggae, funk and original compositions. With vocal harmonies from guitarist Mike Miller and bassist Aaron Miller, along with drummer Nick Fairley, they master styles from early rock and roll and Hall of Fame blues to Jerry Garcia. The band is constantly touring, crisscrossing the country solo and as a backing band.
