Jeff Rose, Cindy Teseniar and David Morrow

These three musicians (also playing with Ocean Drive Party Band) will be turning up the heat for us this Sunday. Expect some fun, uplifting and soulful sounds, well worth the price of admission (can you beat FREE?!)

Cindy, many of you all know and love, but David and Jeff you may be unfamiliar with, but they are a couple of well seasoned, accomplished musicians who live right here in the Lowcountry. You're sure to fall for these two as well.

Jeff's sweet, smooth harmonies & righteous guitar licks along with the impeccable tasty sounds of David Morrow's Saxophone, blend perfectly to balance Cindy's dynamic, edgy and powerful vocals.

Catch all three on Ocean Drive Party Band's site:http://www.OceanDrivePartyBand.com and see David's awesome site at http://www.davidmorrowmusic.com where you can hear even more of his killer Sax work.
