At the heart of the band is its solid rhythm section, including Jamie Dalton (drums) and Mark Sobus (bass). These two lay down the foundation for the extraordinary guitar work of Jake Dreier and the soulful vocals and lyrics of Juliette Michaele. The “icing” on the cake is provided by Steve Lindeman's tasteful organ and piano chops.
