Music style

Steve Gillette influenced their music as well as rock performers such as Van Morrison and Little Feat. Their music was strongly led by Dobro and mandolin with Auldridge
adding lap steel and pedal steel guitar to their arrangements. Later on the band added more percussion to their music.
