"Sophisto-Roots Pop". An upbeat, entertaining and groovy amalgam of styles blended together creating their own unique musical hybrid. Cool songs that stick with you from Rootsy Americana to flat out Rock with a dash of hip Jazz Harmony thrown in. FUN...

This record is a perfect example of the great things that can happen when you get a group of inspired and gifted musicians in a recording studio, give them great songs, turn on the machines, and let 'em do their thing!
Produced by the songwriting team of Patrick Shanley and John Jacobs, the duo assembled some of the finest musicians in the Detroit area for this project. The result is a work rich in musical textures and craftsmanship, making for a record that can be listened to again and again -- the songs are catchy and instantly memorable, with fine arrangements and lyrics that will make you think.
Blowtop is a hybrid mix of a musical train with intermittent stops along the way ... from Rock to Roots, Pop to Jazz, Blues to Ska, along with a few stops in between.
Groove to the full tilt drive of Hasting Street Jive ... the power pop of Open Roads... the funky So Sad ...
