The Solstice

The Band Solstice

In 2019, on the evening of the summer solstice, 5 high school friends growing up together in Knoxville, TN had a crazy idea. While bonding over their favorite groups like Kings of Leon, Dawes, Mt. Joy and Dr. Dog, they decided to start a band.

6 years later, The Band Solstice, now college students at The University of Tennessee, have been consistently touring and releasing music. Marty Gee’s powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence are rounded out by a powerhouse band anchored by drummer Grayson Strayder and bassist Maddox Frazier. Jacob Greene on the keyboards adds depth and layers while Jackson Frazier on lead guitar takes songs to the next level with his shredding solos and melodious guitar riffs.

In 2025, with new music on the horizon, The Band Solstice is heading out on their “Crashout Tour” hitting major markets in the South East and East Coast. Be on the lookout for new tunes and new cities.
