WE WON "BEST OVERALL BAND" IN THE CT. NOW 2018 READERS' POLL! THANKS, FANS FOR VOTING FOR US!

 

 NEWS!  Our sax/flute player Collin Tilton's flute solo from Van Morrison's classic Moondance album ends up in a new book called 25 Great Flute Solos on Hal Leonard Publishing! Read all about it-

Can we brag a little bit about our sax/flute player, Collin Tilton? A book came out called "25 Great Flute Solos" and he's in it! He's also in good company! (think "Knights in White Satin," "Going Up the Country," "The Hustle," "California Dreaming," "Rockin' Robin"). All this is because he was Van Morrison's sax/flute player back in the day and recorded the epic album "Moondance" on which he played the flute (Moondance) and sax (Into the Mystic) throughout. The book includes both the music for his solo and also a write up about him and a photo; he recorded "Moondance" at the tender age of 24. Whoopee!
