The group has a unique music style due to
the diverse background of the musicians involved. TRAG has played many
of the marquee clubs in the Tri-State area including Toad's Place,
Elbow Room, Kenny's Castaways, and Webster Theater.
TRAG is currently touring the East Coast in
search of a major label contract!
Although the music has a contemporary style, it is rich in melody and
diversity: dare we say a true "Progressive Sound".
