Drive To Space is a four piece prog funk rock Americana band from Eugene, Oregon. The group fuses their energy into a cohesive, mind-meld of sound - complete with tempo and key changes, odd meters, tight jams, and well-written, complex material interspersed with improvisation.

Drive To Space is a keyboard-driven band that combines prog rock, funk, reggae, Americana, bluegrass, and more into a cohesive, mind-meld of sound - complete with tempo and key changes, odd meters, tight jams, and, well-written, complex material interspersed with improvisation, and three part vocal harmonies.  

 Choice cover selections tastily blend with a trunk load of original music. This paves the way for an epic drive through an aural landscape! Welcome aboard the spaceship! It's a good ship. Buckle up as we Drive to Space!

  Drive to Space was founded in late 2022 as a result of a Craigslist ad Steph had posted looking for players to start a band with. After Terry stumbled across Steph's ad, he chatted with long time friend John Raden, and the two decided to reply to the ad.  The three of them got together, and almost instantly - the jokes were flying, the jams were flowing, and they knew this was something worth exploring. After a couple of years, and many different guitarists, Travis Mason joined in the summer of 2024, quickly learning the band's repertoire, and bringing some of his own original music to the table.

In the late 2010’s rumors of Super Secret Band began to grow around Portland Oregon. In recent months these rumors have been growing faster across the greater pacific northwest of a secret funky spacey festival band with rock fangs, jazz horns, and a powerful rhythm section. A band so super and so secret that not even the band members can acknowledge the band’s  existence. Concert goers claim Super Secret Band insists that no one should tell anyone about the band, unless of course they were doing so to tell people not to tell anyone else about the band. 

In November, 2022 the band released an EP/Album titled, “Never Odd Or Even”, and followed up with 5 singles off the Upcoming “Planetary Zoo” Album in 2023.

According to anonymous eyewitness testimony Super Secret Band headlined small festivals across the northwest in 2022 and 2023 and is rumored to continue sharing Super Secrets with those willing to seek them out. The sound ranges from Rock, to Jam, to Dark Jazz, to blues, to funk, to Ambient sections that space all the way out before converging into funky slap bass driven experiences. The band’s instrumental funky rock core highlights improvisational expression from a rotating cast of guest musicians creating a different Super Secret Experience each time.
