We're a 5-piece band, with Dan Feerick on stunt guitar, Sue Bencuya on rhythm guitar and blues harp, Paul Sager on bass, Mark Stankard on the keys, and fabulous drummer Mike Myers on everything he can reach with a stick. Everyone sings but Mike. We dig tight harmonies and music that makes you get up and dance."
