Guitarist Paul Orton, bassist/ ukulele player Ben Nixon and keyboardist/guitarist/ and front man Mike Buckley each took turns singing lead vocals while everyone else harmonized as drummer Mac McDougall whaled away on the drums.


 They added several  different influences into their original indie rock including  some Caribbean and just a touch of jazz music
“Stardust was a highlight as was the ear-worm “More Than I Can Ever Tell.”


 They  sounded like a mix of ’90s jam bands and alternative folk musician Wax Mannequin.
 Nixon switched to ukulele for “Blue Eyes,” another highlight.
