Great name for a band
Treasured Contact
The story
Formed in 2018 in Portland, Oregon, Treasured Contact began as a spontaneous collaboration between singer-songwriter Avery Lane and synth wizard Jamie Cruz after a chance meeting at a vintage record store. Their mutual love for nostalgic 1980s pop and the emotional lyricism of modern indie compelled them to start writing together. Within months, they’d recruited bassist Riley Tran and drummer Morgan Ellis, solidifying a lineup that thrived on fusing shimmering synths and heartfelt storytelling.
The band’s name, Treasured Contact, reflects their philosophy that every meaningful connection—no matter how brief—leaves a lasting mark. Their debut EP, “Moments in Echo,” found underground success with its blend of infectious melodies and bittersweet lyrics about relationships, technology, and longing. Since then, Treasured Contact has played sold-out shows across the Pacific Northwest, continually growing a devoted fanbase drawn to their vibrant live energy and honest songwriting.
