The group performs music influenced by a variety of genres, including blues rock, psychedelic rock, folk-style rock, soul, and Southern-influenced rock. They are known for extensive use of segues in their live performances.

Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica virtuoso John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla and keyboardist Ben Wilson.
