History
The details of how this group of music lovers got together are rather inconsequential. Of consequence, is that in the two years since they gathered at the Armbar to jam, they have become a predominant name in the Santa Barbara live music scene; playing their style of acoustic harmonic rock to characteristically fun-loving crowds at a variety of local venues and private events. The oft-praised talents of guitarist Sam Ferguson and harmonica wizard John Ziegler are carried by the steady rhythm section of Andrew MacCalla on rhythm guitar, Mike Osborn on bass, and Nik Thierjung on percussion. The band’s sound is further enhanced by the four-part vocals and harmonies with Andrew as the predominant lead, and Sam, Nik, and John doing their supportive parts and occasionally sharing leads.
