R&B, SOUL, COUNTRY ROCK, A DASH OF JAZZ AND REGGAE,.. COVERS, BUT NOT YOUR REGULAR TOP 40 / TOP 100.... GREAT SONGS, THAT HAVE 'GROOVE' AS THE ESSENTIAL PART AND COMPONENT OF THE SONGS WE CHOOSE TO DO. SONGS FROM THE 60's THROUGH TO CURRENT STUFF. LOOKING TO GRADUALLY INTRODUCE ORIGINALS, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY. BUT WANT TO BUILD THE BAND UP AROUND A SPECIFIC SOUND, THAT IS ALREADY THERE, JUST REQUIRE A FEW 'ADD ON's'.. TO PUT THIS BAND WHERE IT OUGHT TO BE !
