Serving up fare evocative of mid-60’s Motown, 70’s Gamble & Huff productions and the polished 70’s large-band lineups such as Chicago and Lighthouse, this Ottawa-based assemblage revivifies these sounds with here-and-now energy and flair.  Smartly-charted horns & strings adorn genre-savvy original fare further enhanced by solid work from principal lead vocalists Rebecca Noelle and Jeff Rogers.  Standouts include “Where Does The Love Go?”, “What Are We Waiting For?” and “Feel The Commotion”.
