Lyrics, music, vocals, guitar, arrangements and production: Michael Hill is a songwriter, singer and guitarist whose music has always centered upon telling stories. He has recorded seven albums of his Original New York-Style Blues and with his band Michael Hill's Blues Mob has shared his wide-ranging stories with audiences in over 30 countries.

Music, bass, keyboards, drum/horn/string programming, arrangements and production: Kevin Hill, a native of The Bronx, NY, has been studying bass guitar for fifty one of his sixty one years. His early influences were virtually curated by the extraordinary vision of his big brother Michael, with whom he shared a room, thus lending an eclectic and inclusive palette to his playing. Mike and Kev have been collaborators and co-conspirators from the very beginning and this project offers a wonderful opportunity to extend the breadth of their work. In addition to bass, Kevin adds keyboards, orchestration, composition, programming, production and engineering to the team.
