Band History

The band's two constant members, Irene and Billy, have always lived for music, though their taste may be a bit behind the times. Major influences have included The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Merle Haggard, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Tom Petty, Guy Clark, Johnny Cash, Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson, Brian Wilson, Kris Kistofferson, James Taylor, Steve Earle, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, and so on..

It's hard to say what their music sounds like, but it is clear from listening to them that the music of the late great George Harrison has plays a big part in Irene's lyrical and melodic writing.
