Once upon a time, Ms. Maura met Max Taylor while they were both playing in the house band for a late night cable talk show. Maura had some original tunes and dreams of starting a get-up-and-dance band. She shared some of her songs with Max and he arranged them for a full band... and it was good! Maura then recruited Ron Nuttall and Joseph D'Ambra, who she played with in a cover band, and Ron later recruited his friend, Melissa Stewart. Jon Nilsen responded to Maura's craigslist ad looking for horn players. Maura responded to Tony Romain's craigslist ad looking for a casual project. Tony and Maura soon realized that they had friends in common, including Shelayna Kennedy who Maura sang with in a party band for many years and who Tony's known since childhood! Tony recruited Shelayna. Finally, David Sipes, who plays and teaches with Max, grabbed his guitar and joined the team. And then they all played together.
And it continues to be good.
