"n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."

We are currently looking for a male or female singer to join the band to bring a new dimension to our sound! For inquiries, please message us here or email sovereignrva@gmail.com.

Formed in late 2013, Sovereign hails from Richmond, VA, comprised of Raleigh Heckel (guitar), Alan Wakefield-Thompson (bass), and Ashton Farleigh (drums).  Sovereign's distinct sound blends acoustic and electric tones to create dynamic atmospheres ranging from soft and melodic to intense and energetic.
