Our 2012 Music on the Mountain series includes the band Egon for the finale. With its members ranging in age from 23 to 27 years old, Egon has taken a “youthful” approach to the music of their parents, and maybe even their grandparents.
Egon’s set list is rooted in funk, rock and R&B dance tunes of the 60′s and 70′s.
