The Vibrant Sound is a movement of ingenuity. Combining eclectic styles from Los Angeles to New York and back around to the North Shore of Oahu, this group 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), the warm vocals and jazzy guitar of Ed Eyre, and the North Shore harmonies of trumpetman Aaron Eskaran has given this group a unique sound that can only be labeled as one thing, VIBRANT!

haha no i got tired of trying it, it used to be a first try trick and i hadnt done it in awhile so now its not haha, did you leave right after your show?
Hey! I was at the charity event last night at MVHS, and I really enjoyed your performance! Thanks for taking the time to stop by, even if the crowds were sparse and a little obnoxious. It made it worth it. :)
Thanks man! We are trying to get a full band but its a little harder than we thought. haha but we will let you know when we start playing shows. it will be soon i hope.
You guys rock...I found you when I was looking for Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers. Yes, please make it up to the Fingerlakes region-we have great wine trails! By the way, the Bill Withers cover is fantastic : )
