To expand the ideas and bring them to life, he assembled a band of brothers with childhood friend Chris Dean on lead guitar, longtime bandmate Wes Checkeye on drums, and friends Nate Shorb on bass and Doug Liedig on synthesizers. Their debut collection of songs wrestles with the tension between nostalgia and childhood trauma, and owning one’s place in the present moments of adulthood.You can keep up with the band on Instagram, Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.Dear Misty's self-titled debut album will be released everywhere on May 1, 2026. The album release show will be at 7PM on Saturday, May 2, at National Sokols (located at 613 Hillside Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18015). They will be joined that night by Joy Overdrive and Felt Rite.
