The musicians in the band are amongst the most experienced and versatile in the country having played with prime bands over the years in a variety of situations. They are equally adept at several genres of music pop, dance, funk, rhythm and blues, country, classic and contemporary rock, jazz-rock and progressive rock.

The band has been touring the country for many years now and the repertoire that the band possesses is huge and caters to a wide range of ages and musical tastes.
