Originally located in Darwin, Northern Territory, Gavin has since shifted to Fremantle, Western Australia, where he plays regularly in the band alongside guitarist Alex Dew, and drummer Matthew Wright. The band is recognized for its unique style and awe inspiring live performances, blending strong elements of Reggae, Jazz, and Hip-Hop into traditional Blues and Roots music.
