Where is the group from and how long have you been in Savannah?

We are all from the Savannah area. Pat is from Pooler. Randy is from Rincon. Jance and Cc are both from right here in Savannah.  


Who are some of your musical influences?

Separately, our influences fit nowhere near our genre of music, like Joe Bonamassa, Avett Brothers, Paramore and Red Hot Chili Peppers. But collectively, artists that we enjoy that reflect our contemporary country genre include Miranda Lambert, The Band Perry, Lady Antebellum and Kacey Musgraves.


Describe your sound in three words.

Honest. Charming. Catchy.


What are some of your favorite Savannah venues to perform at and why?

We love Britannia on Wilmington Island — those people know how to have a good time! And it’s always great playing for a fun crowd. Another place we love is Dub’s Pub, where we plan to have our CD release party in March. Spacious and right there on River Street, so we can rope the people in as they walk by.


What’s in the future for your band?

Currently, we are recording our new album called “The Other Side” expected out in March. Shortly after our release, we plan to head to Nashville to set up some showcases for country record labels with the help of our manager and entertainment attorney. We’re so excited to finally be going to Nashville for the first time, but it is a little intimidating, because we could either get lost among all the other artists who share our dream, or possibly be discovered. We just look forward to the experience.



Anything else to add?

Yes! We recently released a music video to our song called “Everyday Guardian Angel” produced by eThree Media based out of Savannah. We were blessed to work with an amazing group of extremely talented people to make this video.
