Members

Stan (the Rock ) Manning lays down a sharp, blistering bass foundation with Kevin Simmons pumping as the rhythm machine. These two with their passionate style drive the band like an emotional train. The stinging guitar licks and vocals of Crackin Jack Collins lends a classic blues-jazz feel to the mix. Eric Big Easy  Stever brings his soulful sax and educated keyboards to the mix. He will grab a hold of your ears and never let go. Our newest member is Tom Tbone Secor on trombone. The master of the sensual sound.  Joe Pilloud (Dr. Feel Good ) seasons it up with his free spirited interpretations of both standards and original compositions, with smooth and direct vocal skills, while offering up moments of madness on the B3, piano and guitar.
Their separate styles blend together like a well oiled music machine
