Easton Express is the result of 2 guys, Kevin Ward and Keith Cottenham just getting together to learn to play guitar. Matt Canfield, the band's leader agreed to meet with them to just show them some chords and strum patterns. Eventually, Sticks, aka, Jeff Iken joined them and the band was formed. Phil Steele, the BassMan joined a year later and we have been playing as a band ever since.
