The Vacaville band came to life in 1997 and hit the ground running with a compelling combination of music genres. They’ve dazzled party goers in the Northern California East Bay for the past 20+ years with a vast array of styles that include Rick James, Bruno Mars, Maroon Five, AC/DC, Metallica, Pitbull, and more. Originally a four piece, the addition of female vocalist, saxophonist, guitarist, Shea Arnaudon in 2011 opened up new possibilities. Throw in some Heart, Joan Jett, Adele and Lady GaGa, and you have quite a diverse group that will take you on a tour from a rhythmic funk tune to a hook filled pop song to a hard and heavy rock beat.
