Bio

There’s a massive difference between a band that just plays a set and a band that actually owns the room. For these guys, the goal isn’t just to show off—it’s to lock into a groove and stay there. It’s that rare, heavy-hitting “deep pocket” sound that you usually only find in the back of a late-night festival tent.

The foundation is built on a powerhouse double-drum assault. Eric Megahee and Jacob Bell provide a rhythmic floor that’s part muscle, part velvet, locking in with Alex Helms’ bass to create the kind of unspoken shorthand that keeps the room moving. Rusty Cheek brings the atmosphere on the keys and vocals, giving the sound a vintage, soulful wash that perfectly complements the dual-guitar attack of Patrick Owen and Matt Williams. Whether they’re trading grit-heavy blues licks or diving into spaced-out improvisational runs, the guitars and keys provide a constant, evolving landscape.

What really separates this lineup from the standard jam-band tropes, though, is the front-line texture. Jessica Williams brings a dual threat on vocals and flute, adding a melodic lightness that cuts through the heavy grooves, while Mike Greene’s trombone adds a layer of brassy, sophisticated and downright funky soul.

Their setlist is a bit of a trip—they’ll pivot from a James Brown-style funk pocket into the psych-rock expansiveness of the Dead, all while mixing in their own Southern-tinged originals. But the mission is pretty simple: keep it soulful, keep it spontaneous, and keep people moving. They aren’t just playing through a list of songs; they’re building a vibe that feels like a humid, high-energy night in the deep South.
