The Monsoon Rain is undoubtedly a group like none other. Musically they strive to capture the essence of the unchained human spirit. Each song is a journey through the minds of five highly driven individuals merging together to form a harmony that epitomizes true beauty. 

At first listen, this band might seem a little indulgent in their respective 
instruments. However, further inspection allows the audience to realize this is key to clearly conveying the message in music. 

Pick any part of the music to focus on, whether it be the mosaic yet seamless rhythms of Kevin "Egg" Skogman’s bass lines, feeding off of the intense dynamics of drummer extraordinaire Michael "Moist" Justice. Let's not bypass the eclectic yet intelligent tickling keyboardist Travis "The Pastrami" Darling. Maybe you will notice unlikely chord voicing, used to truly express the emotions of guitarist Patrick "Rhythm Nation " Rutnam, working in unison with the powerfully passionate yet subtly sensitive vocals of Gavin "Hot Butter Biscuit" Rutnam. Which ever area of the music the listener chooses to explore, one thing is certain. It is at this level that truly fashioned music is created. 

With a sound of such intensity, comes an unparalleled live performance. Each member clings to his role and conveys their ideas as if it were their last breath. Drastic measures are taken to make sure that no audience member is left unscathed. A show that begins with five guys taking their place on a platform ends up turning an entire venue into a stage. If you can’t get to them they will get to you and you will be grateful for it.

To sum up this band in one word: Powerhouse! This is undoubtedly an adventure for each individual with no limits in sight. How far along on their journey will they be before you catch on?
