Sounds Like: We started out as an acoustic blues duo - morphed into an improvising roots rock trio - then a psychedelic jamband working bluegrass into our sound a few years before the popular craze hit - then working towards more songwriter material. Folk, blues, and bluegrass always shone through the rock stuff.
