Soon after moving to Eugene, James recorded the EP lofty in the loft at his house. It was a commercial success, with hundreds of plays on bandcamp, so he sought out members to form a live band. He soon connected with Justin, and later Cam, after some time with another drummer (Keenan Siminski). Since then, lofty has been bringing the music of 'lofty' to the world - as well as other originals and innovative takes on covers. Check out the EP in the 'music' tab, and the live band in 'videos!'
