"Part of what makes the chemistry in this band so great is that although we are a mix of people from across the community and we come from all kinds of different places and backgrounds, we are united in our love of this music and how important it is to share it. And then you add that there are so many first rank talents in this band that I don't know where to start - Nikko Murphy, Steve Rosenblum, and Jamill Shaw (to take just three) - are you kidding me?. Don't wait. Come and see this band."
