Original modern/alternative rock music out of Houston, TX.

We've been rockin some of Houston's best venues since 2009 with a mix of mellow, heavy, bluesy, jazzy, progressive rock: Roc Bar, Scout Bar, Warehouse Live, Fitzgeralds, the 19th Hole, Jet Lounge, to name a few.

Finding Reason formed in 2003 when Ben (formerly of Less Than Serious) Greg, and Todd decided to get together to play some tunes. Ideas for original material quickly developed but were slow to be completed as the trio had no drummer and all had busy day-jobs.

Since then, FR slowly put together a few songs and learned some cover tunes. Ben had to pull triple-duty as lead guitarist, vocalist, and laying down drum tracks in the studio. Though Ron of the Death Carpet Trio (DC3) offered to do some drum work and performed on the the track "Ghost Of A Man." In 2007, FR was asked to play at a friend's birthday party, where they filled a slot between DC3 and Less Than Serious. They went on to play a few other private events (charity fundraisers & house parties) in 2008 & early 2009, all with Ron filling in on drums.

Then in March of 2009, FR hooked up with Priest, a wicked drummer from Pasadena who is actively involved in the music scene. The band started playing shows at local Houston venues by the end of '09, including ROC Bar and Scout Bar. However, due to political differences, Priest left the band in January of 2010.

In February of 2010, FR found Tommy Lee's raucous understudy, Ryan Rushing, through a series of celebrity contacts. Ryan had been out of the music scene for a while after living the highly debaucherous lifestyle for so long and was ready to get back into the groove with some FR tunes.

In June of 2010, FR parted ways with Todd and carried on the best they could as a power-trio. While taking on shows here and there, the band put together a demo CD called "Antidisestablishmentarianism" and officially released it on Oct. 29.

Shortly thereafter, the band met ax-wielding madman, Kenny. He officially joined the band in December and rocked out with FR on stage at Warehouse Live in Houston on December 19 and has been helping FR kick Houston's ass since then.

The latest change in the band has been the addition of a dedicated vocalist. Bradley is a talented musician with an awesome voice, and skills with guitar and brass instruments. After an impressive audition, including blowing the horn some during Blue Devils and Chupacabra, Bradley officially joined the band in June of 2011 and started rockin out with the band, bringing a new perspective on the established music, as well as fresh ideas for new tunes.
