Mark Davis and Todd Gutridge first met in New York when they were playing together in a band called Toledo. It wasn't long before they realized their musical styles blended perfectly. After Toledo, Todd began recording and putting songs together at his studio. Mark started his own band and began honing his vocal and musical style, but always felt something was missing. A few years back they were at a party together and began discussing their individual projects. The word "collaboration" came up and the two began working together. In the fall of 2000, they added the smooth sounds of long-time friend Ed Matthiack on bass, and the percussive talents of seasoned veteran Chris DeRosa on drums, and Air-o-sol was born.
