Chicago based musician Dan Peters took influences ranging from Elvis & Johnny Cash to Brian Setzer & Stevie Ray Vaughan and worked towards putting together a group that would be both challenging and entertaining.
After working through several stylistic and personnel changes, the band settled into the perfect niche as a "surfabilly" power trio.
Their music mixes rockabilly, surf, jump-blues, honky-tonk, jazz and western swing into a high-octane blend that rocks a little harder than your typical roots oriented group.
The three members are all journeyman musicians who have recorded; performed and toured the world with many Chicago based acts.
