Something just happened to us somewhere in maybe junior high, high school, college where we felt this synergy of music with an audience.
And there's something special that happens when you share music in the moment with somebody.
And for me, particular, I love seeing the crowd reacting to the music.
And you know, they say, "Hey, you fuel me "when you're playing your music."
And I tell them, "Well, your passion fuels me in return."
And it's like this big cycle.
And we've all had powerful experiences and it's kind of inexplicable why music gives us certain emotions, but we always try to tap into that and try to just pull that emotion out of music and bring that experience to people.
In my opinion, there's just nothing like a live performance.
- How would I describe our sound?
I think it would be creative, if I'm saying just one word, I don't know if we belong in any one genre or anything like that.
We play all different kinds of genres.
We play pop, we play rock, we play classical, we play fiddle music, we play blues.
We've done some heavy metal, you know, it's kind of all over the place.
So I think it's called, you know, classical crossover since we play on classical instruments.
But I would say that our music is creative, it's exciting, it's intense, it's thoughtful.
It makes people think.
(air whooshing) (computer mouse clicks) - One, two, three, four.
