THE BAND
Author’s Bay is a dynamic Christian Independent band consisting of five siblings and one spouse. Performing together since they were young, their folk-pop/alternative rock sound is compositionally driven by their experiences, passions, and beliefs. They independently write, record, mix, and perform music that is relatable to both believers and non-believers, inspiring change, compassion, and love.
