Band Bio

Colonial PA started out as a mainly central Iowa based band and has played shows across the Midwest.  This five piece bands consists of members: Noah Ruppert (guitars and lead vocals), Seth Ruppert (drums and percussion), Kyle Bodkinds (bass guitar), Jon Beattie (guitar and back-up vocals), and Steven (Bub) Anderson (guitar).   Now residing in Minneapolis, MN the band hopes to continue to reach out to more and more people.  The band has been together for almost four and a half years now and have played many shows and accomplished many goals.  With the newest addition of guitar player, Steven (Bub) Anderson, the band has many new aspirations and a great blend of musical talent.  Everyone in the band brings experience from previous bands, much practice, and all of the members of this now five man band have been playing for several years.

When you mix the kickin' drum beats, amazing bass riffs, the three soaring guitars, and the great harmonization of the vocals, you get the rockin' music of Colonial PA. While being influenced by many great classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles; they still retain somewhat of a newer rock sound such as those found in Relient K and The Dave Matthews Band. Their lyrics span various topics, giving their music something for all listeners to enjoy.

The band's love for music has brought them together and continues to expand their horizons in the music they write. They do not favor just one style of music, but rather they try to write something they like while being original at the same time. This gives each new song its own special, unique, flavor to it.
