John Ransom’s love for music started as a child thumbing through his parent’s vinyl collection. His bass playing is heavily influenced by those early musical experiences listening to John Paul Jones, Roger Waters, and John Entwistle.
Miles Prendergast claims the musical seed was his mother's guitar in the basement closet. "My brother's and I would bust that thing out every once in a while, but I don't think it was ever in tune." Miles developed a flame for songwriting and playing open mics around town. Early on, he drew a lot of influence from Jack Johnson, but also pulls inspiration from artists like Dave Matthews Band, The Black Keys, and Gregory Allen Isakov.
Ryan McGee picked up drumming the summer after 4th grade and later enrolled in all the musical ensembles he could throughout school. He has been gigging throughout northern Michigan since 2011. He is heavily influenced by drummers John Bonham, Nate Smith, and Adam Deitch.
