Backstory:

Colorful Reserve is a band that originated from the small town of Albany, Oregon in 2010. The fusion of three talented musicians – vocalist and guitarist Matt Vaughn, drummer Jack Cody, and bassist Steve Baker – who were childhood friends and shared a mutual love for music, led to the formation of Colorful Reserve. The band’s name was inspired by their hometown’s vibrant foliage during autumn, which they consider as their haven of creativity and inspiration. They spent their early years playing at local pubs and small gigs, until their impressive performance at the Oregon Music Festival in 2015, which eventually led to their first record deal.

As they continued to hone their sound, the band found their niche in Indie Pop, blending in elements of folk and rock. Their unique musical approach and meaningful lyrics resonated with a wide audience, earning them a loyal fan base. Over the years, Colorful Reserve has further established their place in the music industry, continuously producing hits that are both chart-toppers and crowd favorites.
