about

Six longtime friends, four of whom have been hanging out since grade-school days, have come together to make an album.

Though our tastes may vary, we’ve forged our collective passion for music in the sonic furnace of 350+ combined years of discerning listening experience.

Most of us have shared the stage at weddings, birthdays, block parties, and other events. But we’ve never taken our act into the recording studio – until now.

Turn it up to 11. If you dare.

Fear the G-Drive.
