The band was formed in 2017 and has fast become a regional favorite across Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. This group of musicians is no stranger to the music scene. Tom has played nationwide from stages in Las Vegas, tiki bars in Florida, barns in Iowa, many of your favorite honkey tonks in Nashville and also in the great state of Texas. Paul is a Nashville recording artist who has collaborated with singer-songwriter and record producer “Cowboy” Jack Clement. Scott is a rocker gone country and a solid bass player. If you’re at a show and request a rock tune, the band might whip out some AC/DC or Metallica with Scott on vocals and will blow your mind.
