Backstory:
Severe Host is an accidental creation that came to life when four childhood friends discovered their shared passion for music during a power outage in their small town of Carson, Colorado. They found solace and harmony in the dark, with nothing but an old guitar, a harmonica, a set of drums, and their voices. Originally, they started playing music just to kill time, but their enamoring sound quickly captured the attention of their tight-knit community, and they soon found themselves performing at local events and festivals. Always staying true to their roots, they adopted the name Severe Host, a term used to describe the tough weather conditions of their hometown.

Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Underneath the [D]Carson sky, [Em]lost in a [C]lullaby,
[G]Found the [D]melody in [Em]disarray, [C]began to play.
[G]Four lost boys [D]in the dark, [Em]strumming chords that [C]spark,
[G]Playing with [D]passion, not for [Em]fame, [C]just a simple game.
(Chorus)
[G]Whispers in the [D]wind, [Em]echoes of our [C]sin,
[G]Songs from our [D]hearts, [Em]this is where it [C]starts.
[G]Severe is our [D]host, [Em]but we love it [C]most,
[G]Under the [D]Carson sky, [Em]where dreams never [C]die.
(Verse 2)
[G]Through the storm and [D]the rain, [Em]music eased the [C]pain,
[G]A harmony [D]born in [Em]desolation, [C]found its station.
[G]From a power [D]outage’s night, [Em]came a beacon [C]bright,
[G]Severe Host’s [D]music took [Em]flight, [C]into the light.
(Chorus)
[G]Whispers in the [D]wind, [Em]echoes of our [C]sin,
[G]Songs from our [D]hearts, [Em]this is where it [C]starts.
[G]Severe is our [D]host, [Em]but we love it [C]most,
[G]Under the [D]Carson sky, [Em]where dreams never [C]die.
