AMY RICKERTSEN /// BASS, VOICE & FATAR
TROY RICKERTSEN /// VOICE & GUITAR
The two kids, Mat & Troy, were raised in a small town called Moberly, in the midwest. The tomgirl, Amy, was raised in Dardanelle, a little town down south. Mat and Troy began a friendship early on as they shared interests in trail riding and skateboarding, running, as well as music. Amy found her way to Missouri and the three became friends in high school. While still in school, the band formed, under the same name, but not yet with the bass abilities of Amy.
As a friend and fan of the band from the first rehearsal sessions, Amy watched the band grow and supported from the sidelines, attending all but one gig of their career. It was not until the writing of the album Origins that Amy picked up the bass guitar and became the third piece to a triangle that was missing a crucial side. She completed the band.
With the release of a handful of albums, many of which have songs that are performed regularly at shows, the band embarks on a new journey with it's most current release... BUILDING MACHINES TO REACH THE STARS.
Ultimately, the band is called to express what is on their heart, finding empathy and compassion for others, and digging deeply for truth of the eternal.
