Theyre well known from New York to New Orleans, and have particularly strong followings in California, Colorado, Michigan, New England, and the Great Northwest, among others.

After celebrity chef Guy Fieri became a fan of the band, he invited them to perform at many of his events and private parties around the country, including at the Super Bowl in Tempe AZ.

They were also featured as the house band for four episodes of Guys Grocery Games and in 2020 premiered a music video on Food Networks Triple D: Takeout Edition.

The band is rooted in their undeniable musical prowess, intoxicating beats, and mind-bending flows. Keyboardist Adam Gold is known for his heavy synth baselines and funky vocals. He plays four vintage instruments at the same time, even while beatboxing! Drummer and singer Emanuel Washington combines neo-soul with deep house, reggae, and countless other genres. Frontman / emcee Jack Brown evokes comparisons from Mac Miller to Michael Frantí, but his lyrical skill and conscious vibes are truly one of a kind. The band also features musical guests, ranging from brass instruments to guitars, turntablists, female singers, & more.
