All 4 members from Grand Meadow, Minnesota including Tristan Hanson (lead vocals, guitar), Lynn Baldus (bass), Paul Johnson ( lead guitar), and Ethan Casady (drums). Their style represents an even mixture of alternative rock and rock. SpinDrift SpinDrift is an alternative rock trio from Rochester, MN whose music spans a broad range of styles from driving rock to sweltering blues. They have been playing together as SpinDrift for two and a half years, and in that time have created a buzz from their energetic live shows. They use catchy guitar hooks, groove-ladened bass lines, and driving drums to give their audience a well deserved rhythmic ride. Their live shows are independently raw and impulsive, tapping into the 'moment' to deliver a truly unique musical experience. All three members of SpinDrift: Brandon (vocals/guitars), Chris (Bass/vocals), and Mike (vocals/drums) have actively played in area bands for years, and each one brings something different to the band. SpinDrift has managed to appeal to a broad audience because they play music that comes from their vast influences of rock, blues, and funk. Music that people can get into, hold on to, and let loose to! Check them out at their website- www.myspace.com/spindriftjam
