Brothers Tory Glen Smith (lead guitar), and Sandy Smith (lead vocals) banded together with their talented musician friends where they could re-live their childhood memories and entertain crowds in a fun, light-hearted way using real instrumentation (not backing tracks) and a professional sound to keep party-goers thirsting for more

At the age of 14 he was already a part of the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene and playing regularly in the clubs along Jacksboro Highway. While attending L.D. Bell High School, Whittington played in a band called Short Change, which opened for Point Blank, a band that he would later join, replacing guitar player Kim Davis.[1] During the early 1980s, he formed and sang with his own band, The Sidemen.[2] In 1991, they opened for John Mayall and when Coco Montoya left the Bluesbreakers in 1993, Mayall called him to take his place in the band. In Mayall's band Whittington sang occasionally and contributed to songwriting. When, after fifteen years, Mayall disbanded the Bluesbreakers, Whittington continued to gig in Texas, but also joined forces with Roger Cotton and Pete Stroud, who had toured with Mayall as part of Peter Green's band.
