WiH: Tell us about what inspired the band?

SS: The inspiration to start the band was at my sister’s wedding. It was a beautiful night at the Omni poolside, and the band was incredible. Perfect on every song, and the crowd loved it. During this time, I was in a handful of bands and asked different members if they were interested in joining my new event band. Fortunately for me, they said yes!
