London Streets December 6, 2007

These ladies are an amazingly tight and sweet unit. Shani leads from the rear, riding and maintaining a tight, strong groove. Originally from Los Angeles, she has been playing music her entire life. When it comes to the bass, Jenn Curiel has a style all her own. Smooth and rhythmic, she never skips a beat. Lesley Grant brings sweet and sultry vocals to this great ensemble. Growing up in Georgia, she was raised on the blues and gospel music. Though only in his mid '20s, Jesse P. Cutler is easily identified as that rare form of singer/songwriter, an original whose work somehow feels familiar. There is an assured quality to both his vocals and his steel-stringed acoustic guitar playing as though they were the work of an artist long-established as a professional in his craft, rather than one embarking on a career.
