Their most acclaimed record — #1 on the national Roots Rock chart & five Colorado Blues Society Awards.
Celebrating growth and change, City of Love explores themes of love and happiness with a musical architecture rooted firmly in the past yet stepping boldly forward. From grinding rock to breezy swing, from early Motown drama to droning slide guitar and a closing BB King blues — the range is extraordinary, the energy relentless.
