These guys are the heart and soul of local talent. Any given night of the week you can find them all over central Illinois doing what they do best, live music. They always put on a great show, have a good time, get the crowd involved, and you won't regret it. Keep your eyes and ears open for these guys. They are the best of the best and I am honored to sit in as often as I can and jam with these guys.
