An alternative rock band from Northern Colorado, STRAND has written an ever-growing catalog of explosive and compelling songs, with subtle influences from many world-class artists, ranging from Creed and Vertical Horizon to Bruce Hornsby and Coldplay. Creating their own unique pop and rock styles that meet the demands of today's alternative music scene, they continue to awe fans at every energetic performance. Performing their original music and popular cover songs, they appear at many local venues across the Front Range, maintaining a unique sound in their genre with dual lead vocalists, a strong mix of piano and acoustic rhythm guitars blended with searing electrified rock grooves, and melodies that people just can't seem to get out of their heads. STRAND was formed in 2001 by co-leading brothers, John and Bobby Strand. While competing in a music festival in Estes Park in 2002, they met and were later joined by drummer Erik Johnson, formerly of The Turning.
