Arlie
Arlie is a band created by singer-songwriter, composer
& multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Banks. It began in summer 2015 as a solo
bedroom project and grew to incorporate a full-band live show by fall 2016.
Since Arlie started playing live, Adam Lochemes and Carson Lystad have been
part of the performing ensemble on drums and guitar, respectively. Ryan Savage
joined on bass in 2018. During the pandemic and the year prior, everyone
involved in the group wound up going through some of the hardest times of their
lives, in one way or another. But despite some major setbacks and challenges,
they managed to come together and finish a debut full-length album as a team,
with Ryan and Adam as co-producers alongside Nathaniel, Carson as a trusted
go-to perspective, all together bringing a new batch of Banks' songs and demos
to full fruition. After finishing the record, the group added Noah Luna to the
performing ensemble as a backing vocalist and multi-instrumentalist to complete
the live show.
