Vayden

Vayden by definition is knowledge. The knowledge that the art of life is play. We don't play for product or pay. We don't play for notoriety or fame. We don't play to achieve an end result. We play because life is a game. There are only two things you can do with a game, let it sit and collect dust, or play it. It is our philosophy to play the game we love well and to always remember those who love us for it.

Vayden formed in Phoenix AZ in 2005, a city who's name is synonymous with rebirth. We have since shared stages with many amazing artists, been on national and international tours, received extensive radio play and have played festivals for thousands of people. We now reside in Los Angeles California where we have just wrapped up our third record, "The Maria Magdalena Session", a live acoustic CD/DVD recorded in a 100 year old church in Marne Germany, set for release March 16, 2012. Previous works include our debut album "Children of Our Mistakes" and a self titled EP, released in late 2011. Vayden could be categorized as a rock band but our influences span many generations and include everything from The Beatles to Patsy Cline, from Frank Zappa to Tool, from Tom Petty to Led Zeppelin and if you mix in some motown, a touch of classical and maybe a little jazz you now have a portion of the raw material that makes up Vayden.

The members of Vayden are: Curtis Casey, Armin Peterson, Jeffrey Covey and Bruce Weitz. We are four guys with common interests and philosophies and it is our intention to share the discoveries we make in the art of life and music with everyone who cares to listen.

Enjoy the game.
