biographical info

The band is aged 25-28 and much of their music is also geared towards that age group; they play theme songs from 1980's cartoons and popular hits from the 1990's to ensure that the 20-30 year olds enjoy their night just as much as the more traditional crowd.  One look at their set list will demonstrate that this band is firmly rooted in tradition but also a new concept in pub music. 
The formula is simple: Violin, Cello, Guitar, Drums and two Voices play songs people know but in a way they'd never imagine.  The formula works and has earned the band acclaim from audiences everywhere.  The band has taken the stage at the Commodore Ballroom twice for St. Patricks day ('05 and '06) and have toured throughout BC and the Yukon.
