Upon starting this project I began thinking of what it is that makes Hammond and its surrounding area special. I first visited here from West Texas on my 21st birthday back in '93 and little did I know at the time that this was soon to be my home. It was here that I went to college, met my wife, and found my best friends/brothers/bandmates, and really began to develop as a musician. After pondering my few years here I think one thing that stands out is that this is a place where all kinds of things come together, even if just for moments. This coming together of people, ideas, and influence has produced a regional sound that is truly unique. It is my hope that his project and projects like this will give folks a look into some of the awesome music that this region is producing....
