We have all heard the negativity, "Rock is dead. There are no REAL musicians anymore." These attitudes are defeatist in nature, oversimplifying, or worse, IGNORING the passionate musicians that cross just below the radar every day. It is our goal, to counter that idea. We create music, not just for us, not for YOU, but for everyone who will ever have a chance to listen to a song and let it move them. To get those goosebumps across their neck as the guitar solo comes to a crescendo. We want to make music that moves, enlightens, and inspires. That motivates ALL of us to dream and feel again. We want to share this passion and this journey with YOU, the music lover. The hopeless romantic. The dreamers and the night-time philosophers.
