Alt/Reggae Rock/R&B from Winchester,VA. LANDS are no more than a couple of buds fulfilling a passion. Adam Hernandez-Bass. Jordan Holmes-Drums. Bijon Stokes Vocals/Guitar Stephen Stokes-Sound engineer



From mellow melodies and hypnotic blues to thunderous grooves and screaming guitar solos with waves of warm fuzz, The Braes offer a breed of energetic rock and jam music with a little something for everyone. Based in Berryville VA, the Crossley brothers and Hammersly twins joined forces in the Fall of 2011 and immediately went to work writing and forging their sound with elements of Funk, Blues, Folk, Rock, and Reggae. After a steady year of gigging and polishing their sound, A CD sits just over the horizon for this ambitious and passionate group. Like it or not, The Braes are here to stay.

In this dreadful time of over-produced pop rock, ear shattering dub step and auto-tuned tweens, we're here to remind people that you don't need a mac-book to create some solid grooves.
This is our mission. We are The Braes.

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.
