Album Notes

Theodress Avery was formed in the fall of 2005 when Metro Christian Academy students Jordan Crawley and Schuyler Anderson came together. With the addition of Eli Anderson on rhythm guitar, Zach Annett on drums, and Jeremy Daniel on bass, Avery was able to create a new sound through its young experiences and broad creativity. The boys from Theodress mix all the influences they can to create their unique sound. Anything from soaring electric hooks to acoustic guitars and pianos all come backed with Stevie Ray Vaughn-inspired solos and lively drums. Pulling from John Mayer, Mutemath and Queen, just to name a few of the band's influences, Theodress makes a fusion of pop, rock, funk and blues.

The band’s success started with winning multiple local talent shows, but they have also won several larger competitions including the 2007 Tulsa World Satellite Battle of the Bands at Cain’s Ballroom. Later the same year, the band won Joe Mamma’s Battle of the Bands and were interviewed on Z104.5 The Edge, a local radio station. They have recorded onboard the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and also in their own studio, where they finished their debut EP “Introduction” in February of 2008.

Theodress Avery was formed with the intentions of creating enjoyable, original yet relatable music and they have certainly succeeded. Theodress Avery's musical vision has flourished over the years, and the band has been able to create more distinct, varied songs. With tunes from Unstoppable to Lazy Day, the band has captured audiences with their musical prowess, sincere stage presence, and overall enjoyable songs. With a fan base that is quickly spreading through Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas, the band is obviously doing something right.

Theodress Avery is actively seeking venues across the country in hopes of sharing great music with everyone they meet and are excited to see what future may lie ahead for their band, their fans, and their career.
