The Vibrant Sound

Formed in Provo, UT in 2006.

Description

Current Status: The Vibrant Sound is a movement of ingenuity. Combining eclectic styles from Los Angeles to New York, this trio has captured a sound that defies boundaries on all sides. Based on the songwriting slash lyrical delivery of leadman McKay Stevens, the Vibrant Sound came together to create music for ghettoblasters to speak through and people to connect to. Touching on issues of poverty, racism, and the media, this group is conscious of the community problems we all face. At the same time they keep it light and humorous on other tracks addressing relationships or nostalgic childhood memories. With a bowl full of soul they create an atomosphere with their music and live show that captivates audiences and keeps them bobbing their heads. Though originally based on Stevens' acoustic flows, the addition of a human drum machine (Jacob Skaggs) and the warm vocals and jazzy guitar of Ed Eyre, has given this group a unique sound that can only be labeled as one thing, VIBRANT!
