Mike Dees (Guitar, Vocals) is a Singer/Songwriter from Memphis, TN. A prolific purveyor of Southern-fried power pop and veteran of many bands, he recently struck out on his own and hasn't looked back since. Whether playing solo acoustic or with a full-on rock band, he always delivers heartfelt (if slightly acidic) lyrics and ragged jangle rock.

Imagine 1970's AM rock (Neil Young, America) mixed with British Invasion and Power Pop (Big Star,Teenage Fanclub, Gin Blossoms) filtered through a ragged dose of distorted bliss (Soul Asylum, Husker Du, Guided By Voices). Like a candy-coated razorblade, these pop gems slide down smooth before the internal bleeding of emotion sets in. With these sugary bitter-pop nuggets, you can't eat just one. Crunch all you want, we'll make more.


His introductory 5-song EP "Buried" is available now. The debut full-length CD "Unearthed" will be released in May. His song "Fields of Light" is featured on "Wednesday Nights in Memphis", a benefit album for St. Jude's Target House. His version of "Let This Dream Never End" appears on "Sensory Lullabies:The Ultimate Tribute To Jellyfish" and his version of "Deliver" is on the bonus CD. He has recently been drafted by Burning Sky Records to contribute a version of "Flood Of Sunshine" for "Beautiful Escape: The Songs Of The Posies Revisited  .

Sonya Forbes had to step down after the "Wednesday Nights In Memphis" CD release. The gig was pretty bittersweet, as it was also the one year anniversary of this band line-up being together, to the day. She was pregnant and did shows for as long as she could until it got too hard. So a warm round of applause and congratulations to the best drummer I've ever worked with and one of my favorite people in the world. She's gonna be one ROCKIN' Mom! Congratulations Jeff & Sonya!

She appears on "Fields Of Light" from "Wednesday Nights in Memphis" and "Let This Dream Never End" and "Deliver" from "Sensory Lullabies:The Ultimate Tribute To Jellyfish" and the bonus CD.
