Japhy's Descent was officially formed in August of 2008. The melodic tunes of connections lost and connections to come fuel the experience and the potential of everyday. The nature of our project has grown to include more characters. My name is Travis Furnald and I provide the vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica and writing for Japhy's Descent. Simple tunes that remind me of why I love life so much :) Our lead shifts from the availibility of one to the availbility of the other and Martin and Boyer in their own unique ways push the music to another level creating space and movement. Mark and Scott sit in a similar boat alternating shows and songs on bass guitar. Caleb Snow is our drummer... and a hell of a one at that and on Stowe is our latest addition full time on keys. With different influences and a common love of music we have created something for every age, gener, and for music lunatics everywhere. We only create the music, you make it worth the while! We hope you enjoy our music! We hope you fuel the experience!
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirious of everything at the same time, who never say a
common place thing but burn, burn like fabulous roman candles like spiders over the night sky and in the center you can see the bluelight pop..." -jk
