The band was initially just a trio of childhood friends – lead guitarist and vocalist, Miles Stevenson, drummer, Andy Watts, and bassist, Anna Moreau. As they ventured into the world of music, their unexpected encounter with violinist, Theo Laurence at a local jazz bar, added a surreal edge to their soundscape. This unlikely quartet combined their love for blues, soul, and rock to create a unique sound that transcended the typical genre boundaries, resonating with an array of music enthusiasts. Over the years, they’ve gained a reputation for their mesmerizing live performances and meaningful lyrics wrapped in powerful melodies.

Title:

“Shadow Ballet”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Underneath the [Am] neon sky,
[G] Dance the shadows, [Dm] paintin’ the night.
[F] Whispered secrets, [C] silent words,
[G] Echo in the [Am] unseen world.

(Chorus)
[F] Shadow ballet in the [G] moonlit lane,
[C] Twirls around in the [Am] pouring rain.
[Dm] Hold on tight, [G] don’t let it fade,
[C] In the dark, we’ll [F] find our way.

(Verse 2)
[C] Silhouettes in [Am] black and blue,
[G] Telling tales of [Dm] love and rue.
[F] Lost in rhythm, [C] lost in time,
[G] Dancing to life’s [Am] secret chime.

(Chorus)
[F] Shadow ballet in the [G] midnight breeze,
[C] A moment’s peace in the [Am] wild unease.
[Dm] In the whispers of the [G] night,
[C] We’ll find the strength to [F] reignite.
