About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See America. Rock America. Entertain the peoples.

ABOUT ME

We are a rock and roll variety show band from Brooklyn, New York. We are conscious and experienced adults with no crazy rock star attitudes - we're not that famous yet. Ha! We LOVE fresh, green food, nature, and spreading the love of rock n roll around the great country of 'merka. One thing to know, since we're a traveling band, we'd like to apologize if we don't get back to you right away, sometimes we're don't have enough time to get our computers running so we access CS by phone and it has proven to be a little slow....but we really really appreciate responses to our requests....

PHILOSOPHY

"Find out who you are and then do it on purpose", from the church of Dolly Parton.

Also, the golden rule is pretty darn good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving through the West Virginia and Tennessee hills in autumn of 2012 and 2013. It was the "peep the splendor tour".. we were so enraptured by the autumnal fireworks (and jamming music in the car) that we missed our exit more than once. In Philmont, NY we played a small bar - the only music venue in town - which filled up with locals who danced to all of our songs! We had a big, continuous dance party and we hope every gig will be as fulfilling as the Main Street Pub in Philmont.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are usually pretty funny! We can't guarantee that we will make you laugh, but the chances are pretty good that we will. Also, if you come to the show, you might enjoy our music and we can give you a free ticket to the show.
I like to learn patience.
