BORN...

Coming from meagre beginnings, all four band mates found themselves working hard to make a mark on the world, initially through entrepreneurship, coming together in early in 2004 and eventually forming four successful businesses over a ten year period. The music developed organically gleaned from the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life and for these music lovers, music formed the natural outlet.

“The songs flow freely, when they give me goosebumps or make me emotional I know it’s a keeper”.... Jay Marshall. The lyrics that result are raw, sensitive and brutally honest. The music is played with an unusual sensitivity, connection and therefore passion. The result is a band that transcends the commonly accepted notion of a group of musicians on stage playing music to a universally emotionally touching experience delivered with rare authenticity.

After successfully retiring at early ages from the corporate world, Jay Marshall (song writer and acoustic guitar,) Ava Volante, (bass and backing vocals,) Emmy Rivers, (backing vocals and rhythm guitar) and Dave ‘chilly’ Halford on drums found new inspiration to share the music gained from painful life experience and the journey to fulfillment that followed.
