(Artist Update)
Written by: Raquel Dutra Rodrigues
FEEL started in 2021 and is now a four member band made up of guitarist Tyler Armstrong, bassist Rodger Lenhardt, singer Garrett Barcus, and drummer T.J. Steinwart. They’ve quickly become one of the standout bands in St. Louis and the nearby areas, gaining more fans everywhere they play.
Their music mixes psychedelic rock with blues and a little bit of grunge, giving them a sound that feels familiar but still different from anything else. They put a ton of energy and emotion into every show, which makes it easy to see why people of all ages are becoming loyal fans; their music just connects with people.
Their debut album was produced by five time Grammy nominated Paul Moak. The ten minute title track is, just like most of their songs, fast, electric and exciting. With three EP’s being released in the last five years, the band is heavily influenced by progressive rock, such as, Led Zeppelin and Humble Pie, their biggest references.
Intense solos and riffs mixed with the vocals of Garrett Barcus, can easily remind some people of Robert Plant. A powerful and dynamic sound where the past meets the present. Some say attending The Band FEEL’s concert is like time traveling back in time. . Especially to the 60’s and 70’s. It’s not just the music, but their visuals as well, that can translate what the sound is all about.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, the band recently opened for Dirty Honey. They have played with ZZ Top and The Black Crowes. Their popularity in social media has been gradually increasing with their thousands of Spotify listeners and Instagram followers, which, explains the happening of two headline tours. “Stay Around”, the first music video of this new chapter, was recently released and already has more than 200,000 viewers.
The Band FEEL is the living proof that blues and classic rock are very much alive. The band has concerts scheduled for the coming months in several states across the country. More details about their tour can be checked out on their website, where tickets can also be purchased.
Thank you for reading and until next time….
