Origin
Just some guys getting together and kicking out some tunes in a basement. The whole goal was to have some fun and hang with friends. Then came jam nights, and then a few gigs and the party hasn’t stopped!
Albums
Two tracks on Mary Ravage’s 2006 CD (Mary and Her Musical Friends) that contains originals from local musicians.
| Members
Josh Smith- Drums and Percussion
Jim Harless – Rhythm Guitar
Frank Calapristi – Saxophone
Marvin Cramer – Bass
Gus Calapristi – Lead Guitar.
Influences
We love playing hits from CCR, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, and anything with a groove that folks can dance to. We try to pick tunes that people know and get jazzed hearing live. And of course we love those classic cars – check out the web site.
Sounds like
Rock with a second helping of southern blues.

Anecdote
In the summer of 2006 we decided to wrap up the summer with an impromptu jam on the beach at the Bateman Island Mudhole. We loaded up some drums, amps and guitars along with a portable generator on Dick’s party barge and let it rip. It turned out to be one of the best times we’ve never planned. Those boaters are some partying people. Even the sheriff stopped by, gave us a wave and said to keep on rocking.
