The band continues to be well rehearsed, and tailors its song list to the particular venue of each performance; i.e. Festivals, Casinos, Mardis Gras Balls, Big Weddings, Corporate Functions and Private Parties. All performances are rehearsed in advance of the engagement. We are professionals, and  we will present ourselves, and perform for you in the same professional manner. 
This is a BIG HORN BAND covering a 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and present day R&B, Funk, Jazz Rock, Rock, Soul, & some Big Band arrangements.
The band caters to the client's particular format. We also have a small Country Western reportoire.
