This band rocked. All members were from 60's
band with chart topping hits. Our show includeed
a light show and a complete "back to the 60's"
experience. Our music had some psychedelic
influences as well as some straight ahead rock.
Merrilee is known for her ballad hit "Angel of the
Morning," but she can rock, too.
Note: Tragically, Mark Tulin suddenly passed away on 2/26/11. This was a shock to us all. We could never "replace" him. The band dissolved shortly after this. It was a fun group with bunch of big personalities and talent.

"Cruise Control" takes over State St. in Santa Barbara - June 2005
My band's float led the 2005 Summer Solstice Parade in Santa Barbara. Summer Solstice is the most attended event in Santa Barbara every year - drawing an even larger crowd than the famous Fiesta parade. The theme that year was "Wild Things." The parade route takes over an hour - my band played many interpretations of "Wild Thing" - rock (of course), raggea, cajun, you name it. It was a blast.
