Members:
Vocalist Lin Broussard
Lin has a vast history of fronting bands with her vocal styles ranging from intimate
pop and jazz ballads to popular dance music including American, European and
Latin hits. Belting them out with the best, Lin attacks rock tunes with the
passion of each song's intent and lends just the right touch to torch songs.
Originally from Hawaii and headlining throughout the islands, Lin's performances
have taken her throughout the Pacific Rim to locations such as Japan, Guam,
Korea, Tahiti and the Phillipines. For such a world-class vocalist, Lin still
maintains the aloha spirit she grew up with.

from solid rhythms to generating ever appropriate lead guitar work. Playing
guitar since a teenager, Dan entered the rock world of the sixties and
expanding to the folk-rock and dance sounds of the 70's. The jazz bug
bit him in the 80's where he pretty much stayed until moving to Hawaii
and joining a Latin salsa band performing thoughout Hawaii and Tahiti.

famous, used to be famous and never will be famous. He's played all genres and styles from

apart from most other "drummers". Craig's lifelong musical journey has given him the chops
and musical sense to make the music he plays, enjoyable to all those that experience it.
