They are newly married after having worked together up and down the mid-Atlantic coast in the funk/rock group the Dee Stone Band. The cornerstone of the musical entity was always Dee’s powerful voice. Now coupled with Charles' intricate fingerwork on both acoustic and electric guitars, they have found the perfect combination of their incredible talents as a jazz/soul duo. But if you listen very carefully, you’ll still hear some rock bouncing around those gorgeous vocal chords and vibrant strings."

Wright has a great deal of tricks up his sleeve that serve to satisfy."
