The Home Team on Tour
Bringing high-energy pop-punk from the Pacific Northwest, The Home Team has been delivering audiences a fun and catchy experience since 2014. This blend of hard rock acoustics with classic pop vocals creates both an electric and nostalgic sound. The group consists of vocalist Brian Butcher, guitarist John Baran, bassist Ryne Olson, and drummer Daniel Matson. Each of the group's members originally came from the Seattle metal scene, and together formed The Home Team to reach "an entirely new and more promising market of people," as Butcher said in an interview with Stiched Sound. The Home Team is set to commence their 2023 Spring Tour, making 28 stops across the United States, including two stops in Canada and will be supported by Broadside and Honey Revenge.
