This is one of my favorite stories to tell about the band. This is how it all started, the group coming together and finding a sound of our own, and a bond that I now cherish. The story begins with a project for a music class at the Harrisburg Area Community College. All of us were attending HACC for an Associate's degree in Music Business. In our one class for promotion and publishing, Nicki and I were put into a group for a project on writing a jingle. We decided to write a quick blurb for HACC’s music club.
We went to the “music room” and began brainstorming melodies and ideas. Nicki played around on the guitar strings until he came up with a riff that sounded catchy and upbeat. I quickly jotted down in my notebook behind the other group members, rhyming lyrics and words. Justin just so happened to be in the music room at the same time, and provided us a backbeat to use while we practiced the short tune.
From that collaboration, Nicki and I began talking and sharing music ideas. I can remember the moment that he sent me the guitar part for our first song, “After My Broken Heart”. I was sitting at my kitchen table with a bowl of soup and began writing the lyrics right there with a spoonful of chicken noodle. I had performed before with a partner, but we were just doing covers or working on songs that they were making. I also didn’t play an instrument besides singing, so I was beyond excited to be able to write my own lyrics and melodies to Nicki’s songs.
After that, Nicki and I began visiting the music room more often, where we officially met Justin and Blake. At first, we thought Blake hated us, but we soon realized that he just had a “resting bitch face”. Anyways, we would jam out together whenever we met up at HACC. Our jam sessions then moved to Justin's homemade amateur studio in his basement. We began taking the songwriting seriously and recording demos of what we were coming up with.
From there, the rest is history. We tried to work as best as we could while COVID started to spread around the world. In the fall of 2021, we had our first ever performance at Millersville’s music venue, Phantom Power. We released our EP “Seasons Changing”, along with our 2023 Album release “Nobody Knows”.
The band has been together for about 5 years now, and we hope to continue jamming out, writing and releasing songs, and growing as a group with our fans. We appreciate everyone that has helped us and supports us in our musical journey. You never know what opportunities could happen from a simple project.
