WHAT IT IS: LANco is the people you know and the life you live, reimagined. LANco is the familiar, couched in the extraordinary; a connection to community built by the bonds of music. They’re five best friends—Brandon Lancaster (lead vocals), Eric Steedly (lead guitar), Tripp Howell (drums), Jared Hampton (keyboards, banjo) and Chandler Baldwin (bass)—making music and working to create something bigger, while grinding it out on the road to build an identity. Through this, the country group became Lancaster & Company, now known as LANco. Their EP, Extended Play, was produced by the revered Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Little Big Town, Carrie Underwood). Stay tuned for their debut full-length, which is due late 2016 or early 2017.
