This eclectic blend promises to captivate fans across different musical preferences and leave a lasting impression.

Geils, and many more. He has opened shows for esteemed artists such as Mark Egan, Emmett Chapman, and the Stickmen featuring Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, and Markus Reuter, leaving audiences in awe of his musical dexterity.

Their remarkable achievements include being finalists in the prestigious Aquarian Band Contest.
