So yeah, let's keep it simple. Check out some of the tracks up at the top of this page, and have fun with it. The B.O.L.T. is a blend of various feels of music, but with its own specific sound, called "Dream Rock."

Influences ranging from the Beatles, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Phish, Nickel Creek, Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, and even Sting, Seal, Outkast, Michael Jackson, and Mozart ---- The B.O.L.T. covers a diverse range of genres, but still has that specific Dream Rock sound - Music that will make you move, AND make you think.

The voices of John Twiford and The Other Deepak give The B.O.L.T. that tight vocal blend and distinct quality of sound that is essential.  The rootsy guitar rhythms of Brandon Fox bring you back home to that feel-good place that you can relate to.  Christo Pellani (formerly the drummer of AIR SUPPLY) lays down a powerful groove with influences from every continent on the globe, and Mike Russeck on the keys brings the fire with his jazz, funk, and blues magic.
