Backstory:

Likely Rest was formed in the heart of Seattle, Washington, in the spring of 2012. The founding members, lead vocalist and guitarist, Cal Bridges, bassist, Eddie Russo, and drummer, Ian McConnell met at a local open mic night and bonded over their shared love of music and storytelling.

Known for their soulful ballads and raw emotionality, Likely Rest moved from basement gigs to renowned stages in just a few short years, captivating audiences with their authenticity and passion.

A turning point in the band’s journey was when they were discovered by a popular music producer during a local music festival. Their first album, “Soothing Echoes,” was a hit, carving a niche for the band in the industry and the hearts of their growing fan base. Today, they continue to inspire and reach out to the audience with their moving lyrics and melody.

In the silence of the night,

Our hearts take flight.

We’re halfway there, we’re halfway there.

Echoes of the past climb high,

In the shadows, we lie.

Through the maze of despair,

We find comfort there.
