We're a couple of recording artists, who happen to love wine, music & foodie culture; devout bon vivants, you might say.​ Think soulful vocals and heavy groove meets deep house remixes. Some have said U2 meets Joss Stone.

SEAN MITCHELL (DRUMS, BASS SAMPLES AND VOX: YES, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!)
Sean is a bon vivant and coffee-snob-in-training (with an odd affinity for Starbucks' Italian Roast). To quote the legendary Ron Burgundy, Sean is "kind of a big deal" in the drumming world, as the publisher of the globally read online drum magazine The Black Page (www.theblackpage.net). Playing professionally for over 18 years, Sean's tenure behind the kit has landed him on stages with Shania Twain, Bruce Kulick (Kiss), and Liberty Devitto (Billy Joel). Sean has studied under many drumming giants including Dom Famularo (international drum clinician), Mitch Dorge (Crash Test Dummies) and Zoro (Lenny Kravitz).

Our dynamic husband-and-wife duo met many moons ago while on tour. (We won't bore you with the sappy details ... just know that they're sappy.) Like any couple we dream of one day owning our own dream house. And what pray tell would be in it?

​Our home would be full of the sounds of an array of amazing musicians: Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, Led Zeppelin, Alanis Morissette, Christina Aguilera, Journey, The Beatles, John Mayer, The Police, Gin Blossoms, Rush, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Van Halen, Sara Bareilles and anything from the Motown era.

Our dream house walls would be adorned with anything by Michael Cheval, Picasso, Nano Lopez and Martin Machacek. And our personal library would house the likes of William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Gilbert, Audrey Niffenegger and Steven King.

Of course, we love to be in our kitchen, have a huge affinity for cook culture and have attempted many a recipe by chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Mario Batali and Julia Child.

We're also heavily influenced by the philosophers of our day. The people who challenge us to think bigger, better and outside the box. We often rely on people like The Dali Lama, Gabby Bernstien, and Louise Hay to keep us focused on the brighter side of life.
