A group of seasoned, world-class players, laying down killer grooves behind the gritty, emotional, and elegant voice of Brooke Shive. Brooke Shive & the 45's debut album "Way Past Gone" is the bands 1st. All the songs are very emotional, melodic and lyrically cohesive material, that is at once catchy and emotionally mature. They play & write timeless music that speaks to a wide and diverse audience.
