Pretend Friend is a nationally touring progressive Americana band based in Wichita, Kansas. A songwriting project founded by award winning singer and guitarist, Grant Boesen, Pretend Friend is an ever evolving hybridization of genres. Captivating lyrics and soulful melodies are molded into distinguished original songs. The timeless familiarity of classic folk and rock is expertly seasoned with improvised jams, driving bluegrass, vocal harmonies, and anthemic choruses. Caleb Drummond, virtuoso upright bassist, and Rami Stucky, drummer supreme, solidify Pretend Friend's powerful performances with experienced precision and gusto. The Pretend Friend trio produces a staggering amount of energy; listeners are entranced by the band's immense dynamic range and "songs that seems to have always been."
