See, a dream came to Sam Mujica one night that told him to gather three specific people and head to the mountain. Not being one to question these types of things,he gathered Kevin Coyle, Jeff Gorski, and himself in the car and headed north of Los Angeles. After driving through the night, they arrived with no plan and no final destination other than the town itself.FoxxhoundFoxxhound wants to show that great songwriting and live performances can be accomplished without the need for effects or a stage full of musicians. Their belief is that if the songs are strong and that if the musical chemistry is there, it will transcend. Daniel grew up on punk rock and heavy metal but is influenced by songwriters like Elliott Smith, Otis Redding, Morrissey, and Fat Mike of NOFX. He studied classical guitar and musical composition at Chapman University. Lizzi has studied cello since she was 7, graduated from the Orange County High School of The Arts, and is currently attending Chapman University studying cello.
