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!

With two singers, guitar, bass, drums, keys and three horns, including a saxophone, trumpet and trombone, which performs at weddings, corporate and charity events, anniversaries, and milestone birthday celebrations.
