Our Story:

What do you see when you look in someone's eyes? You can see their soul, their being, their character. What do you see when you see a reflection in someone's eyes? You see a moment in time, a lifetime, and a memory. Our music is essentially both. The reflection capturing a moment in our lives and the eye showing you who we really are. Each song is a moment or a memory we have experienced through out this life. And we share that with you every show, every time you listen to one of our songs. You see a part of our life and a part of us. All that we ask is you try to approach this life with an open mind, open eyes, open ears, and most importantly an open heart. Because you can not live this life to the fullest with any one of these things closed.
