ALSO... check out this book!
Brass bands, magicians, break dancers, statues, puppetteers, astronomers...there is rarely a dull moment in the streets of New Orleans thanks to this lively cast of characters. Jim Flynn's Sidewalk Saints is a collection of local street performers sharing their stories in their own words. We like this book because it gives names to the faces we see everyday and offers a personal glimpse into the rich & diverse street culture that keeps the phrase alive- only in new orleans!

Pick up a copy and look for us on page 102!

 

 

ABOUT US
We met each other through our friend Zach in New York about 10 years ago. We hit it off right away, and our music has brought us all through the Caribbean, Europe, and the USA. When we're not working, we are often dreaming and scheming about learning new music, recording new albums, and getting better.


ABOUT DORISE

Don't let the guitar fool you. Dorise can also sing, tap dance, play drum + keys, and capture it all on Pro Tools 8. A woman of endless invention, she is the reason Casio put a strap on their little keyboard synthesizers so they could be played like guitars. 

ABOUT TANYA
Tanya enjoys flying in her dreams,flying on roller skates, and flying to different countries. She likes watching fish tanks more than movies and constantly surprises people with the amount of food she eats.
