Through their first band, "Sound Parlor", they have performed with Rick Derringer, Jeff Skunk Baxter, Barry Goudreau, and opened for Marty Balin, Austin Mahone, Cheap Trick and Sly Stone. They have stated their influences to include: Steely Dan, The Beatles, Prince, and Harry Nilsson. Their songwriting style is known to include humorous themes and lyrics, overtop funk pop instrumentations. Creative Loafing referred to their style as: “A mix of Chromeo’s white boy strut, Pharrell’s mainstream groove appeal and his own most adorable quasi-serious soul.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
