It’s rare to find an entire college-educated band with no music majors among them and still ending up being serious enough, hard working enough, and talented enough to pull together a professional band situation. That’s exactly what the guys from Sargent Avenue have done.
Sargent Avenue, named for the street where they lead vocalist, Jordan Moore’s parents live and where the band rehearses, first rehearsed a few times in early 2008 but had to put practice on hold for the members to go back for their last semester in college. The guys got back together in November of 2008, officially decided to become a band, practiced for 6 weeks and played their first gig in December 2008.
If we have a secret, it’s that we do everything we do with a unified passion. We’re all from different musical disciplines, but when it comes to our songs we’re all on exactly the same page. More than anything we strive to always improve, be ourselves, and create something special every time we play live, so that every live fan can walk away having gotten their money’s worth. Our live show is everything. We truly love playing live and if someone comes to one of our shows, and didn’t even really like the music, we’re sure they’d still enjoy it because there is something special and exciting about watching someone doing something they truly love. That’s us and that’s what we’re fortunate enough to be doing.
