Enter Guitarist- rocker Bruce Korona.Bruce has been logging the rock n roll miles for a good while now, he has been in several NorthEast touring bands including: 'Back in Black" the AC/DC tribute band, and many other groups. Susan & Bruce were taken aback by each others sounds and style and influences...and talk of putting a group together just made sense and was an easy fit. Susan & Bruce started jamming together and writing songs in late 2008'. Now in 2009, the result is a high energy rock n roll, n blues influenced band, with alot of power and soul, and varied influences from AC/DC to Janis Joplin, to Johnny Winter,Muddy Waters & Gov't Mule( Warren Haynes), Aerosmith , Tina Turner & The Rolling Stones.
Susan & Bruce are churning out some great new rock and roll songs coming from thier hands and voices. Songs like "Wisdom"- a classic 70's sounding rocker type ballad ala Lynyrd Skynyrd & Pearl Jam...
Susan & Bruce penned the moving singalong ballad "Eye to Eye", think John Hiatt or Bruce Springsteen ...They also penned the blues rocker :" Got to Have You Baby" which is a very Johnny Winter influenced style fast boogie blues, with Susan's voice soaring over the top like a surfer! Then there is the new song "Hypnotized" shows the classic rock guitar tones of an Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin style with Susan's voice nodding to her rock n roll 70's sister singers: Ann & Nancy Wilson from the band Heart.
