Just Like Wolves


Just Like Wolves...the name of the band that my son Tyler is in. They had their debut on Saturday night!!!


He and his friend Derek have been playing together for awhile now. Jacob joined them a few months ago. Derek is an amazing musician, playing many instruments, writing songs, singing, etc. His parents have been great at providing space, tools and opportunities!! Thanks Erin and Larry!!!


He lives on a farm with a few barns, one in which the second floor has been converted into a music space.


This is where their first concert took place. They invited a few friends to do a test run...and let their parents come if they didn't embarrass them!!!



Hard to get god pics with the lighting, but......



Tyler on drums, Derek on lead guitar, and Jacob on bass...



My boy!!! I've never liked that shirt, but it looked kind of cool in the light!!










I was amazed at how good they were!!! They've been working so hard and it really showed!



They played seven original songs and an encore of one of them..."I'm Not"...

You can check them out on Facebook. Hopefully they'll have some video soon!! I can't get the link to work, but will try again!!
Great job guys!!

  4. Boys and bands. My husbands family has had some bands, even had a cousin that played in a band that opened for Smashing Pumpkins. I love to see them having so much fun.

  5. How awesome. I am married to a musician and I can tell you he will play in a barn, on the street, in a club or church any day any time. He loves it and I bet your son and his friends have that love too :)
