The band is four players: Cole Schneider on vocals, Chris Maphis on bass and vocals, Dave Maphis on guitar and vocals, and Sean Frank on drums and percussion. Together they move from classic rock and blues to heavier metal and funk in one night, with grooves you can dance to and riffs that hit hard. Original music is on the way.
