The band begun their journey in 2009 from Detroit, MI. While taking several roadtrips down to Grayson York's home(Toledo,OH) where they ended up playing and writing music together . The York home was already set up as a jam space- filled with amps, sound equipment & microphones, in the basement ( since Gray's dad, had played guitar for over 40 years and was part of a local band since the 70's). After a short temporary hiatus for Guitarist Alex Barefoot... Ryan begun playing and learning bass guitar after first meeting Grayson in 2008 when he first mentioned Ryan looked like a Bass Player rather then a guitarist ( Ryan was learning guitar before he played bass). Their childhood friend, (another guitar player) Ryan, & Gray, then formed a band and later acquired Jordan Sparks (Ryan's brother) for keyboards who at the time was taking vocal lessons by a vocal coach. Alex shortly shifted back in the picture around the end of 2011 when their original band fell through & their childhood friend guitarist left to pursue other interests. Interesting enough Grayson , Alex, and their childhood friend would spend hours at their church in previous years which made it destiny regardless for a band to be formed. At this time, when Alex came back to hang out and write music, Jordan Sparks performed in many talent shows and became their front man & shortly after Northline was born. The band was not named because of the road , but because of all members (including Grayson) being from Michigan, since they played in Toledo and if you looked , north of the border line from Ohio, the state was Michigan . We are actually in the process of compiling some songs for EP & just spent last night working 4 of them plus we will be doing a cover of Daughtry's Home. Excited to show you, we hope to record a few of these songs before we release a full length album in 2015 , you will be one of the first to hear them... We are thinking of doing an acoustic cover of "Walk Away" as well. Please stay subscribed, check out our youtube channel, we are excited to show the world what we have been holding back...
