Live Music
In February 2003, We started the band in a garage in Tomah Wisconsin, the core 4 members decided we liked the music we brought together. We decided we would play Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Blues and Outlaw Country. We have played for many events from Weddings, Anniversaries, Clubs, Fairs and Festivals. We are a crowd pleasing favorite. Come on out and visit with the band!
