So songwriter Charles, (he sounds like Jimi Hendrix & Johnny
Cash), hooked up with hardcore/funk bassist Christine (she played with Tantrum,
Martha Davis of The Motels, Jan Kuehnemund of Vixen, & Cassandra Denver) & drummer
Jimi Christi (he tours with Dwight Yokum and Lucinda Williams). Ya, so what.

"That's Why" is an EP of groove-a-licious string spankin' jams
of hope, heartache & sexuality. Fronted by the intense vocals of modern songwriter/guitarist
Charles Law, backed by the sensual Christine Perior on 4 & 5 string Bass, and
a variety of percussionists and guest appearances by Jimi Christi. Not to mention
Brad Buley, percussionist extraordinaire.
