Voices joining in harmony over melody, strumming guitars, bouncing bass and lilting rhythms are as old as the hills. Yet to capture that in a natural and uncontrived way takes maturity, age, experience, family and friends to name a few. Jesse Murphy, Aaron Johnston, Gabriel Gordon and Jason Darling have done just that. Through their years as professional sidemen, genre twisting trend setters, DJ's, solo artists and songwriters, they have always made time to hone in on the craft of good friends making simple and beautiful music together.

We will bring joy, heart and soul to your event. We sing in 4 part harmony and our biggest influences are The Eagles and Crosby, Still, Nash, Young. You'll be very happy you hired us! We are all also very familiar with our instruments so we can deliver a more "jam band" kind of experience if you wish.... long solos, etc... or just stick to the songs. We write and perform original material, but are open to play a set of covers for you if you so desire!
We're here to make you and your guests happy! Let us know when you need us!
Thank you in advance!
Gabriel from California.

Hi!
Jesse Murphy: Bass and Vocals
Gabriel Gordon: Electric Guitar and Vocals
Jason Darling: Acoustic Guitar and Vocals
Aaron Johnston: Drums and Vocals
We can bring our own backline if need be, but if we need a sound system, we'd also need 4 monitors, four shure sm58 with four stands and four xlr cables. It really depends on the type of event and space. We can play all acoustic (i play electric through a very small amp for most gigs) in your living room, or bring our backline that will suffice for up to 100 guests or so. It really depends on the event.
We play our own original songs - but we can taylor make a setlist of covers for you if you so desire.
