Wren Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Wren has recently been reformatted from a four-piece alternative rock band to a somewhat unconventional two-man team with a hired gun drummer for shows and recording. The sound has changed as well. In addition to the band’s rock roots, elements of funk and hip-hop have been heavily incorporated. The new Wren is able to seamlessly transition from heavy rock to light alternative to rhythm-core hip-hop. Rapped verses with sung choruses over guitar effects, slap bass lines and funk/rock drum beats are where the band is heading. In 2012, Paul Lindberg (bass/rapped lyrics/backing vocals) joined Wren in its original form, which had been founded by Tim Cowan (lead vocals/guitar/keyboards) sometime in 2011. After cycling through a few drummers and losing their other guitar player to Austin, TX, Tim and Paul decided to pull back from garage (basement) -rooted writing and rehearsing with additional full-time members to making a go of it themselves. In an age where Skype, beat programs and cheap recording technology exists, the two decided the old ways were no longer necessary. Tim, located in Loudonville, Ohio, and Paul, located in Columbus now collaborate over a distance to achieve what has become a fulfilling project for both of them. Book us at thebandwren@gmail.com
