About the Artist

Genre defying

The trio of singers/songwriters/musicians say their album will reflect their diversity but the influence of the greats is apparent. Says James, “If you look at the band, we’re all mixed up, we’re all from different backgrounds and nationalities — all jumbled up — that’s sort of like our sound. There are influences from genres and places and music that we grew up listening to. It’s a fusion of classic soul, folk, 80s classic rock/pop and even a reggae/african vibe.” Jake says the group doesn’t feel compelled to be locked into any one genre or sound. “Artistry comes from the heart,” he says. “We try to do what we feel, not what’s hot right now. We did that at one time, but we’re learning and growing as artists and musicians so our sound continues to evolve.”
