Ambition, dilligence, and the drive to change the world through hard acoustic and rock melodies, catchy riffs, memorable lyrics, and hooks that will keep you
humming their music all day are all the reasons why the members of the up and coming band Savant get out of bed every morning. With over 15 years of performance
experience the members of this Tempe, AZ bred-band has been playing together for a relatively short time, since the beginning of October 2010. The band members
Kyle McKinney, Vocals/Rhythm Guitar; Alex Bartnett, Lead Guitar; Daniel Duarte, Bass; and Zebb Jessup, Drums, come from a wide range of musical backrounds, and
influences including: Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Led Zeppelin, Blink 182, Eve 6, James Taylor, Jack Johnson, Terry Bozzio, Mike Portnoy, and Animal from
The Muppets(at least he is for Zebb). The Vocalist, Kyle McKinney has been writing songs and performing in bands since the age of 15. His first band Space for Rent
led to his second band Drop Dead Darling, which unfortanately ended before it really had a chance to begin. He spent the next few years continuing his passion
for music and writing until he met Alex and Zebb, formerly of the controversial band Tiger Eyes. After Tiger Eyes split up, Kyle, Alex, and Zebb were able to form
Savant. Soon after forming, Daniel Duarte, formerly of Kick the Gnome (where he was bandmates with Zebb) joined Savant as the Bassist. After the first practice of
this newly formed band, all the members of Savant realized they had stumbled across the right combination of musical ability, life experiences, energy, and ambition
to take Savant to the top of the charts. They have Captured lightning in a bottle and they could not wait to present it to the world
