Kerri's vision for a blues/rock band was born after she heard Ali's raw electric guitar style. Long-time friend and musical partner, Anthony 'Shorty' Shorrte, was the third ingredient to complete their swampy foreboding sound.
Their debut album Opelousified is a feast of grit and glory and was voted best blues album in 2019 at the Music Victoria awards.
