One of the best live club acts you’ve ever seen – no bullshit. A wonderful mixture of original and cover music ranging from blues to rock to funk to swing to jazz to ethnic and traditional (when the atmosphere is right). From Albert Collins to Kool & The Gang to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Frank Zappa to James Taylor and Nat King Cole…
“Whatever’s your atmosphere – we got it right here!” A multi-talented bunch of guys that together make up one of the best rockin’ shows you’ve seen in a long time. You’ll be on your feet singing and dancing before the night is over. In version acoustic for your more intimate venues, and full-blown electric for your “alive and kickin'” places. Guaranteed good times or your money back.

“… I don”t want to bore you people with the usual 10-page Curriculum with dates and years and people and places and … stuff that you won”t read nor care about anyway. I prefer to let the work speak for itself. If you REALLY want a complete and authorized ”Curriculum Vitae”, just say so and we”ll promptly e-mail you one. English or Italian as you prefer…”
