Growing up in a musical family, Savannah instantly found a passion for singing and making music from a very early age.

She quickly caught the attention of a well known and loved influencer in the Florida Music Scene, the late Rev. Funky D. She spent the remainder of her teenage years fronting his various projects, such as Porcupine and Funky D's Deja Voodoo. Upon becoming a young adult, her musical adventures led her to Atlanta, GA, where she fell in love with the mountain sound and began to learn the art of flatpicking.

Justin Davis is a multi-instrumentist and music teacher from Clearwater, Florida. Playing upright bass, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and back-up vocals in the progressive rock band Between Bluffs, he later became a part of several other projects such as Free Range Strange, Oak Hay, and Sonic Stew. His unwavering dedication to his craft and his love for music is a joy to witness.
Justin started playing the piano at a very early age. His passion drove him to be inspired by many different genres thought out the years, but it wasn't until a serendipitous moment at age 12 that he found his passion for stringed instruments. A fellow student came into class with a Les Paul guitar, and started playing Metallica. As a huge fan of heavy metal at the time, Justin initiated a conversation, and found out that his classmate was also his neighbor. From that point forward, he had a new best friend with a common obsession - The Guitar.
By the time the very first Bonnaroo festival was born in 2002, Justin was well on his way to becoming a career musician. Walking through the crowd that weekend, making his way from Ben Harper to Ween, he happened to stumble upon Edgar Meyer & Bela Fleck. Watching them weave through melodies in ways he had never heard before gave him a newfound respect for acoustic instruments. Shortly after, he picked up the banjo and upright bass.
Justin's original compositions stem from his own passion for self expression through melody. As a performer and teacher, his genuine love for music continues to inspire other young artists to find their own musical path, no matter what genre or instrument they wish to learn.
This dynamic trio met several years ago in St. Petersburg, FL. At the time, all were playing various venues in separate projects, coming together around the campfires of music festivals to play their favorite songs. They quickly realized their musical chemistry, just in time for both ladies in the group to move to new cities in separate states chasing different dreams. Throughout their travels, and all they’ve learned along the way, music always remained the core driving force of their aspirations. Together, they are excited to be home (for now) playing music for the Florida music family who have supported their dreams from the beginning.
