August

Hailing from the small city of Barberton, Ohio, August was formed in late 2005 when members Josh Ison, Cliff Bozarth, and Corey Easterday were offered to play an open mic night at a local bar known as David B’s. Four years and tons of hard work later, August has turned into a nationally touring band, striving to make a career out of this gift God has given them.

August is a band who strives to write good music, to write songs that push the listener to understand as well as to hear, and to write songs that leave the audience with a sense of hope for their tomorrow and for their selves. The band could be described as progressive or alternative rock, combining influences as wide as American Folk and classic Punk music to make something original. August is a group of Christians who stands for the beliefs that come with their faith and that message permeates the music and words that August writes.

Having played with the likes of Red, Fireflight, Remedy Drive, and Everyday Sunday, August boasts an energetic and powerful performance worth remembering. August pushes to make fans into friends, dedicating time and energy to getting to know their fans and to care about them.

In closing August is a band with goals. These three musicians desire to go as far as possible, to be successful. Success for August means doing well, it means making a difference in as many lives as possible, it means bringing hope and joy and good, well written music to as many people as possible and making those people into lifelong friends or at least acquaintances with which August has shared something personal and powerful.
