Backstory:
Icy Gallery is a band that came to life in the gritty, artistic underbelly of Portland, Oregon in the early 2000s. The band consists of four core members: lead vocalist and guitarist, Max “Frostbite” Carter, bassist, Lily “Blizzard” Brown, drummer, Jake “Hailstone” Harris, and keyboardist, Amy “Glacier” Grant. The band met in a local record store, each one drawn by the other’s passion for music, and a shared desire to shake up the music scene with a sound that was as refreshing and unpredictable as an icy storm. Icy Gallery worked tirelessly in Max’s garage, honing their skills and crafting their unique sound, until they were finally ready to bring their music to a larger audience.
Icy Gallery’s unique sound, a blend of alternative rock and icy synth-pop, gained them a dedicated following in the local scene.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1) [Em – G – D – A]
Frostbitten hearts, in this frozen town,
Stormy eyes, where hope drowns.
Shadows dance, as we chase the dawn,
In this icy gallery, we belong.
(Chorus) [C – G – D – Em]
Crystal echoes, in the silent night,
Reflections shimmer, in the pale starlight.
In the icy gallery, dreams take flight,
In the crystal echoes, we find our light.
(Verse 2) [Em – G – D – A]
Through blizzards and hail, we stand tall,
Against the ice, we won’t fall.
Lost spirits, find their way,
In the icy gallery, they forever stay.
(Chorus) [C – G – D – Em]
Crystal echoes, in the silent night,
Reflections shimmer, in the pale starlight.
In the icy gallery, dreams take flight,
In the crystal echoes, we find our light.
