The VandrieAn honest and unique blend of rock music with art and style.The band's roots date back to 2002, when guitarist Ryan Fluharty joined a band fronted by Steven VanIwaarden (vocals and guitar).

The two had initial chemistry and success in the West Michigan music scene, but parted ways when the band broke up in the summer of 2004. They reunited in early 2006, however, when Steven laid the foundation for a new group called The Vandrie.

Joined by one of the most acclaimed drummers in the area, Kelvin Vasquez, the trio has garnered a lot of attention throughout West Michigan. The band is currently making a name for itself locally and nationally by giving unrelentingly passionate live performances.
