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.

All songs that are performed by Drift are either instantly recognizable party-favorites guaranteed to have any crowd dancing and singing along, or popular 90's and modern rock songs that have seen extensive radio airplay. The song transitions are kept quick to keep the action going. 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.

On behalf of the band, we appreciate you taking a look at our EPK and hope to hear from you soon. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask, and be sure to check out www.driftrocks.com for additional content and gig dates.
