Influences: "All our influences range from the '50s all the way up to today. The idea was to do a timeline of different classic rock and country," Craig Stefko says. "We cater to your musical tastes and get our music through the decades of time."
Sounds like: "We try and get a nice roundabout feel of stuff you wouldn't expect to hear," Craig Stefko says. "I'd call our sound vintage but up to date. It's a conglomeration of musical decades. There is a mellower rock side, but it's also danceable."
Set list: The band put its own unique twist on a variety of genre-spanning covers -- including cuts by Joan Jett, Chuck Berry, Sugarland, Joe Cocker, Jimmy Buffet, BTO, Gretchen Wilson, Chicago and the Dixie Chicks.
Know their roots: Members of the band previously performed in various Lehigh Valley-based groups before coming together a little under a year ago.
After parting ways the bands original singer, Sourwine was added to group a few weeks ago.
Stefko also credits drummers Ken Mayberry and Ed Stanko for helping the band with its demo CD and various gigs.
"I've never been with a bunch of musicians who have learned (the songs) so quickly and learned them so good," Craig Stefko says.
"We're really hoping this opens the door and people will start coming out and hear us. Since we're new, people are kind of hesitant but that's the business. I think once people hear us, they'll ask us to come back out."
Catch them if you can: The band will perform Saturday night at the Classic Rock and Roll Cafe in Allentown.

TimeLine has taken the spectrum of musical genres over the generations from the 1950's up to today to be able to cater to your musical wishes at your special event.
TimeLine performs oldies, classic rock, southern rock, country, blues and much more.
TimeLine plays the music you want to hear at your private party, wedding, corporate function or favorite night spot.
TimeLine is comprised of seven veteran musicians from the Lehigh Valley who have formally played with the following acts: Blind Jordan, Double Barrel, Down Right Blue, Dot Com and the Icons, Sharon Elaine and Junction 329, In A Pinch, Impact and the Main Street Cruisers(formally Mid Life Crisis).
