     Beginning early in 2013, a group of friends began practicing in a converted garage studio in Willow Glen. By the end of 2014, Billy Eisner, Fletcher Baker and Judd Murkland found they shared a great love of singing and enhancing standard Rock and Roll cover songs by creating unusual vocal arrangements. They placed extended focus on developing interesting vocal harmonies and arrangements, for terrific but less commonly played popular songs from a variety of musical genres. All three musicians enjoyed refining their ability to make compelling vocal music together and began performing in local music venues, hiring additional musicians to fill out the band.  Billy, Fletcher and Judd found that Kevin Coggins’ drumming brought energy and synergy to the music that was obvious to the musicians and the audience as well. Kevin joined the band in 2017.

      This fun and exciting band is dedicated to continual improvement with focus on sweet, well-orchestrated vocal harmonies and a diverse repertoire.  They breathe life into forgotten gems and deep tracks. The range of song selection and professional control of volume and dynamics is suitable for festivals, dance clubs, corporate events, weddings and any size of a sit down and listen venue. From Classic Rock to Country, Blues to Blue-grass, Tangos to Torch Songs, Soft Rock and Easy Listening; cover songs by the Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, The Cars, Elton John, ZZ Top, Tom Petty… the song list is over 150 to date and new songs are added during every rehearsal.
