modern genre and fulfill the needs of the Main Stream market, they teamed with Bassist, Derrick James, Keyboardist, Sakait
Baksar and Drummer, Ray Harvin to form the nucleus of the band. Percussionist Bill Ransom has been an addition on various
recording sessions and performances. This phenomenal group has been performing for over twenty years. Click here
