Guitarist Dave Perry says, “Having keyboards in the band really gives us a distinct sound. All of our music is live. We don’t use prerecorded tracks. So if you hear trumpets, that’s Tom on keyboards. If you hear a flute or pipe organ, that’s Tom.”  Keyboardist Tom Ventimiglia adds, “We try to create a party atmosphere, were people can relax, dance and have fun.”   “I love playing with these guys,” says guitarist Steve Adler. “There is a chemistry that you just don’t find every day. This band has a great sound, great vibe and we know how to rock!”
