~ 8 Piece Psychedelic Powerfunk ~
*For booking and other inquiries, please contact: contact@cytrusband.com*

Shaped by Jared Squires (@jaredsquires) (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (@luke-nevills) (bass/keys/guitar), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (guitar/keys/bass), Trevor Church (@trevdchurch) (drums), Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Alex Dean (synth/keys), and Sean Connelly (@Seanycee) (vocals/keys), Cytrus’ eight-piece funk-driven fusion makes a place at the table for everyone, offering a psychedelic pallet of funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop, and more. The Seattle-based band is personalized by its juicy synths, bass-induced grooves, and cinematic live performances. However, the group is best known for their flowing transitions in variety, consistently sonic wall of sound, and undeniable chemistry. 

In their short time together, Cytrus has witnessed massive growth within itself and the surrounding community. Originally founded as a four-piece in early 2018 under the cover of HopSol, the ‘couple buds’ quickly began to absorb additional musicians and soon came to completely and precipitously join forces with a group formerly known as @BunkFoss. As a bi-product, the eight-piece has begun to build a dedicated fan base in the Northwest and beyond, co-hosting multiple sold out events throughout Western Washington and becoming a go-to act for promoters throughout the region. The merge sparked a turning point in the band’s sound, energy, and presence, ergo giving Cytrus its newfound name.

Since the age of three, I have wanted to be a professional musician. I recall doing an aptitude and rhythm test in order to be able to start learning guitar at such a young age. The first question was, "Why do you want to learn to play the guitar?" My answer then, was, "Because one day I want to be a rock and roll star."  I completed 12 years of guitar lessons in 5 years and competed in many guitar soloist competitions in Ontario where I won first place through to third place awards. That remains my answer today.   I was born and raised in London, ON.  At age 12, I formed my first band. We won a trophe for our open band competition in Toronto through the Ontario Conservatory of Music. After many players and periods of withdrawing from music, I formed Mixed Trix.  We backed up tom Cochrane and  Red Ryder at Le Bar Privilege, in Quebec City.   We toured extensively across Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, PEI and New York State.
Many years ago, I retreated from the music scene, for many reasons that I need not go into now... because the most important fact is that I have been actively back in music, pursuing my dream for almost three years  now.
