The band was formed in early 1999, each member having their own unique musical background, from Classical to R&B to Celtic. Within a year, they have already established themselves as one of the most popular acts in Manitoba's folk scene. Their first CD, "Squeeze Me, Beat Me, Love Me", is a fine example of their mixture of East Coast, Bluegrass, and Prairie/Country styles.

The sound clips featured here are original tunes, reflecting their energy and passion for home-grown foot-stompin'.
