Over five years ago, Etiera was created. Together, we formed something we are very passionate about and something we love dearly. Creating music has become an inescapable desire and an experience that allows us find a release within others and within ourselves. We played our first show on November, 9th 2003. Ever since the beginning, the connections we have had with everything through our music have been beautiful. It has always been something that has stayed beside us. The music is always still there even if everything leaves.
There have been several changes throughout our lives in the past five years. Just as there are changes in every person's life. Things have come and things have gone. The band evolved and changed like it was its own person, living its own life. Growth, loss, beauty, decay, and desire is the center of everything Etiera is. Thoughts from our imaginations and life experiences transform into songs and into a vision of what we create.
Creating music and sharing it with others has given us the opportunity to meet great people and make amazing friends. Shawn Minerd was our former bass player and he is still a part of what we have in Etiera. We all hold a strong friendship together. Every single thing that every person has done for us means so much. The wonderful people that have come into our lives are truly an inspiration and have become a part of what we are. No matter where Etiera goes or what it does, we have already accomplished everything that we wanted. It has been worth it all.
Thank you so much, everyone.
Etiera is a dream.
A dream that has come true.
