The Band Solstice is an indie-rock quintet from Knoxville, TN, blending folk-rock roots with modern indie energy. Formed in 2019 by five lifelong friends—Marty Gee, Grayson Strader, Jackson Frazier, Maddox Frazier, and Jacob Greene—their sound draws inspiration from Kings of Leon, Dawes, Mt. Joy, and Coldplay, channeling the nostalgia of shared memories into every song.

The Band Solstice has been constantly writing new music and breaking in those songs while touring the East Coast. In addition to their own headlining performances, they have also had the opportunity to open for several notable artists, sharing the stage with Quinn XCII, Sun Room, Illiterate Light, and Your Neighbors, among others. These opening slots not only expanded their audience but also reinforced their ability to hold their own alongside established acts.

As their popularity grew, The Band Solstice began receiving industry recognition. Their single “Mile Dive” was featured on Spotify’s curated playlist Fresh Finds Indie, marking their first major playlist placement. This exposure introduced them to a wider audience and solidified their presence in the indie-rock landscape.

Looking forward, The Band Solstice is soon to release their debut self-titled album over the course of the next year.
