Drift - The Northeast's Freshest Party Rock Band


	The Best Damn Rock Show in the Northeast ... PERIOD!

BAND BIO

The best damn rock show... period. Show after show, venue after venue, week after week, Drift has been proving that mantra to be fact. Formed by four friends whose love for music is only surpassed by their love for good times, Drift's music is contagious and their personalities infectious. Their talent as musicians and entertainers helped catapult them to the finals of the 2009 Clearchannel-sponsored "Sizzlin' Summer Showdown" at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. Hundreds of bands from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island apply every year for the opportunity to be chosen as one of only eight bands to compete. By outlasting over a hundred bands, many of whom didn't even make the cut, Drift solidified themselves as the top 1% of entertainers in the Northeast. This success was then repeated in April of 2010, in which Drift became a semi-finalist in the 2010 "Rock (Your) Face Off" competition sponsored by 106.9 WCCC at Up Or On The Rocks in Hartford, CT.

"Ask any band what genre or style they are and you will likely get a long-winded response about multiple styles and influences. We let our fans and associates figure that one out for us ... and they tell us we're a rock party band. We tend to agree." The band isn't your typical dime-a-dozen cover band thats been touring the same venues for over a decade with the same songs. Drift keeps the songs rocking and the tempo moving. All songs that are performed by Drift are instantly recognizable and guaranteed to have the crowd dancing and singing along, and the song transitions are kept quick to keep the action going. The band's primary area of focus for covers are popular 90's and modern rock songs that have seen extensive radio airplay, and our fans thank us for that. "We can 'Sweet Caroline' or 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' like the rest of them... but aren't you just a wee bit tired of that?"

Drift is available for any size gig and is capable of performing any type of event: from performing a full night of catchy covers as a four-piece rock act, or as a four piece acoustic ensemble, or even a full set of original rock material from their upcoming LP. Drift is always looking for new fans (we prefer to call them friends), so bring yours to the next show and enjoy the good time!

Drift's original songs are influenced by bands as varied as Stone Temple Pilots, Nickleback, Pink Floyd, Incubus, and many others. The band always listens to a venue and will always take suggestions from owners about what works best for their particular venue. Some venues love original acts while others are known for getting great cover bands. The band understands this and DOES NOT play originals when they are booked explicitly to play only covers. Other venues might only be able to accommodate the space and volume of an acoustic ensemble, and the band is capable of minimizing their equipment and performing as a four-piece acoustic act (think back to the days of MTV's Unplugged). If you have only been booking acoustic singer-songwriters and duos, think about giving our "unplugged" approach a try. Drift takes pride in being versatile and being able to handle any gig, big or small, originals or covers, short or long.
