Each member of The Blenders had the good fortune of growing up in a musical family that nurtured their love of song. Although their influences stretch far and wide, Tim Kasper, Ryan Lance, Darren Rust and Allan Rust find a common bond in vocal music. From R&B and Jazz, to Pop and Rock, their tight harmonies and upbeat arrangements always provide the perfect blend.
Often described as, “One of America’s best-kept vocal secrets”, The Blenders continue to record and tour the country, delighting their audiences with their signature vocal sound.
