NEW HORIZONS FOR THE EXCURSIONS!!!
The Excursions (formerly Cool Reflection): We are a constellation of diverse musicians who enjoy playing classic rock, reggae, blues and Americana with a jazzy, improvisational touch. Original music and select covers, interpreted in a fresh way, feature dynamic interplay between the instruments and complex harmonies. On a given night, in addition to our original compositions, you might hear anything from "Rockin' in the Free World" to "Use Me Up" to J J Cale's "Don't go to Strangers" to "I Put a Spell On You", to Willie Dixon's "That Same Thing" to Chuck Berry tunes to Mark Knopfler, all done in our own style.
The Excursions have deep roots in Fresno and Central California, and this is the current lineup:
Pete Favela—Percussion
Jeff Single Guitar, keys, vocals and harmonicas, songwriting
Willie Barrera Bass
Mike Brown Guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and vocals, songwriting
Woody Moise Vocals, guitar, songwriting
Marc Wise Drums
Liz Laury--Vocals, guitar
