The band formed in 2007 in Albany New York under the name Frieda Hammond. After a name change in early 2008 the band's lineup crystallized and has been working successfully in premiere venues throughout New York State.

Matt Lewis – Vocals

Matt has an extraordinary personality; he is professional, courteous, entertaining and just plain fun to be around. His vocals are always spot on in tune. He is a great entertainer.

Jeff Garrison – Guitarist

Jeff has a special vision about music and life; he is intelligent, kind, energetic, entertaining and thoughtful. His abilities as a musician and artist are limitless. Jeff is the founding member of The Vernacular.

David Martone – Drummer

Dave has a fantastic drive about the music we perform; he is quick witted, logical, reliable, and super creative. His abilities as a drummer and motivator for everyone are remarkable.

Matt Bramer – Bassist

He is a great musician, technician, and friend. He’s helped take the Vernacular to a whole new level, inspiring us and enabling us to take on music that would be difficult or impossible without him.

Kyle Lewis – Guitarist

Kyle is no stranger to the band, he's filled in many times and we're making that situation permanent. The Vernacular's newest addition brings many years of experience and success as a talented singer, songwriter guitarist and he brings a family bond to the band. We wish Steve Hamilton the very best in all of his future musical endeavors! He'll be missed!

Hey jeff, thanks for the kind words. The whole thing just came together in the course of about an hour, and we recorded on my laptop so we didn't forget how it went, haha, the guy playing guitar for me.. well his dad actually has a studio in his basement so when we get something a little tighter we're gonna throw it on down there. But we're getting together again next week to tighten some shit up and hopefully finish at least this song. and get a little better recording of the full song. But I'll still check into that stuff you told me about.

Hey Jeff, Thanks for the add. Let me know what you think of our VERY VERY rough demo, should have a much better sounding one after we get together again next week. I'm just glad my lyrics may finally be getting put to use.
