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 Derek, Johnny, and I 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. -Josh Etiera |

Summer is almost over and it is nice to see it's ending in beautiful bright light. Fall is coming soon, which is the time of Etiera. I must say, it has been absolutely amazing to share what we have done with everyone. It has been a little over a year since we came out to share our music and thoughts but it feels like and eternity filled with greatness. Thank you so much everyone. Everything is so much more than I ever could of asked for. You will always be a part of us. I can remember endless nights in the studio working on the EP, staying up for 36 six hours straight until it was finished, lying on the floor at 2AM with my head hurting from singing so loud, and the three of us completely getting lost within ourselves creating what was in our minds. A lot has happened to the band and a lot has happened to our personal lives that has forever changed us during this past year. It has been almost a year since the release of the EP. I am looking forward to the future of Etiera, GoldiRock, and sharing this with others. We are working on new things, growing from where we started. Thank you everyone. We will see you soon. -Josh |

Etiera.
A word without definition but a word that is the home to our dreams.
It is a place of release for all feeling and imagination.
I believe that following your own direction, moving forward to the place that you truly want to go will always take you to what you are looking for. At least in some way.
There is nothing like the connection with others while sharing something so personal.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped us and stood beside us through the past year and further before. We are forever grateful.
