Renae. I almost don’t even know where to start with these guys. The first time I saw them play live was January 2nd, and I instantly had a new favorite local band. Consisting of front man Stephen Rosborough, drummer Adam DeWitt, guitarist Ben DeWitt, and Brad Pigg rockin’ the bass guitar and one helluvah beard, Renae puts on one unique and refreshing show.
L-R: Stephen, Brad, Adam, Ben
On stage they are full of so much energy, but it isn’t depicted through over-the-top antics and lollygag dancing. Instead Stephen’s subtle hand gestures, which have a hypnotically crowd pleasing effect, and truly innovative and energetic tunes keep fans entranced throughout the entire set. The quality of their music doesn’t stop at the stage, either. Their first album, “The Coward, The Storm, & The Outlaw” is in near constant play on my iPod. The brilliant lyrics and powerful music shows that the boys behind Renae know how to pour both heart and soul into making music.
