ANR is comprised of a group of friends, who just happen to be kick ass musicians. The core trio, vocalists Billy Hanson and Ashlie Keith and percussionist, Joe Salato, met fifteen years ago. Their friendship has grown over the last decade, as well as the band, with the addition of Dave Young on bass and Wade Baron on lead guitar. Their remarkable musicianship is only surpassed by their deep affection for each other. Their walk-on song at the start of their set is the theme song from “Friends”. No matter the venue–VFWs, outdoor festivals, private events–this band always delivers a good time. If you’re looking for a feel good band that has a loyal following and reputation for bringing friends together on the dance floor, look no further than ANR.
