The Never HasBeens is a music trio based out of Santa Cruz California, performing an eclectic array of original and cover songs with intensity and dynamic subtly. The trio is rooted in classic American music, a rebellious dose of 80's attitude, and the musicality to blend alt-Rock, Country and Americana styles effortlessly. Their tastefulness in dong so in on full display in the band's latest full-length release, "We Will Not Be Unheard". The trio focuses on songs that have a deep cut and create an unspoken connection with their audiences. This is a band that understands the simple beauty of a country waltz, the frivolous fun of adolescent guitar driven angst, and the value of being in the moment with their audiences.
