Description:
Second Season was formed in the fall of 2008 in South Bend, Indiana by founding members Jeremy Thompson, Osvaldo Limon and Shawn Caplinger. Jeremy and Ozzie have played in previous bands together (Embryo, Schwa, and Bent) and Jeremy and Shawn have known each other through the South Bend music scene since 2004. Brock joined the band in January of 2010 and the lineup was complete. The music of Second Season can be classified as rock, Alternative Rock/Modern rock. In just a short time together, Second Season has played with national signed acts such as Atom Smash (Jive Records) and Cavo (Warner/Reprise Records). The ages of Second Season’s audiences ranges from 16-45. Their performances bring tons of energy and showcases great music with a tight rhythm section, memorable guitar riffs and soulful vocals. The band took 2nd place at this year’s Woodwinds and Brasswind’s (A national musical equipment distributor) battle of the bands out of 35 bands from the region. Second Season also participated in the Musical Warfare (A battle of the bands at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, IN). Piere’s is the premier venue for national bands such as Shinedown, Three Days Grace, Korn, Seether, etc. Second Season made the finals for that battle as well with competition from bands all over the region including Ohio. The band’s music has been heard on South Bend’s own 103.9 The Bear and Fort Wayne’s 98.9 The Bear as well as multiple online radio stations such as Golden Image Radio and Asgard Radio. Second Season is one of the hardest working bands you will find. Promotion is the key and the band promotes very hard for their shows via flyers, MySpace, Facebook, and radio commercials. The band tries to get as much music out to the public as possible by passing out demos at concerts, giveaways, and ticket sales. The band also has a growing merchandise selection as well including t- shirts, cds, magnets, beanies, and stickers!! The future is bright for Second Season; it’s just a matter of time before they will become a household name. The music, performance and confidence is there.
