We're a three-piece band hailing from the familiar neighborhoods of North Carolina, where our common interests in music brought us together. Our bond is anchored in a shared love for sound and rhythm that has shaped our musical journey. Our unique lineup features an 8-string guitar, keyboards, and drums, each instrument adding its own flavor to our collective sound.
Our guitarist stands out with his ability not only to play but also to craft his own instruments. His 8-string guitar creations lend our compositions a distinctive character, adding layers of complexity to our melodies. On the keyboards, our musician's style draws comparisons to a unique blend of Tom Waits, Thelonius Monk, and Ruben Gonzalez, resulting in textures that weave seamlessly into our musical tapestry.
Meanwhile, our drummer's background in bringing the thunder brings a diverse rhythmic palette to the table. Notably, he's also skilled in instrument construction, an art that he seamlessly combines with his musical prowess. Together, our different musical aesthetics merge harmoniously, yielding a sound that defies easy categorization. Our evolution as a band stems from a deep-rooted friendship that has blossomed alongside our shared passion for crafting intricate compositions, where the echoes of our influences are palpable yet transformed into something distinctly our own.
