I TAKE REQUESTS, JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT! I CHECK REGULARLY!
Floater was formed in Eugene Oregon in 1993 by singer/bassist Robert Wynia and drummer Peter Cornett. They quickly recruited guitarist Dave Amador and recorded a six-song demo which impressed the record label Elemental, where they were soon signed. Their First album, entitled Sink, was released in 1994 and contained the songs on the demo. Shortly thereafter, a second album was released, Glyph, which increased the bands popularity in the Pacific Northwest and allowed them to tour further east into Arizona, Utah and Texas.
Floater received nominations to the preliminary level of the Grammy's from NARAS in 1995 under Best Rock Performance for Sink and in 1996 under Best Alternative Performance for Glyph.
Floater regularly plays separate acoustic shows in addition to their regular electric shows. In 2004, with the release of their first acoustic album, Acoustics, increased their emphasis on acoustic performance.
Floater's 2006 release Stone By Stone is their most critically acclaimed record to date.
