Biography - WHO IS FUSE?

Founded in August of 2012, FUSE was quickly accepted into Sarasota FL’s local music scene after their successful debut on November 9th, 2012 at the historic Gator Club located in downtown Sarasota. Rapidly growing in popularity, FUSE has managed to secure bookings at many of the area’s most notable venues. Michael Cochran (Lead vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist for FUSE, formerly the male lead vocalist for Gas House Gorillas/formerly the lead vocalist of The Cherry Bombs) says the key to their success has been an “aggressive work ethic and listening to the fans”. Michael went on further to say that the addition of Cuinn Griffin (Bassist, keyboardist and background vocalist for FUSE/also the bassist for Gas House Gorillas) was a tremendous leap forward towards developing great stage presence and the musical flexibility needed to pursue more difficult songs. Joining the FUSE family in August of 2013 was Matt Wardell from SNAPM, to take over as drummer after the now former member Casey Raber had to leave the group to pursue interests outside of music, again bringing more musical flexibility and a vibrant stage presence to FUSE. Continuing to grow, Michael Cochran and Cuinn Griffin parted ways from Gas House Gorrillas and decided to add a fourth member to FUSE in late October of 2014, Keith Johnson, to assume the role of lead guitarist. Also in late 2014, the band acquired Brandon Thrift to replace the now former drummer, Matt Wardell. Both Keith Johnson and Brandon Thrift bring a long awaited solidarity that the band has been seeking since its conception in 2012.

FUSE is a primarily modern pop/rock/dance cover band focused on a high-energy stage show with a wide variety of up-beat song selections. While the life-blood of the band has been performing popular cover songs, FUSE has plans to introduce original songs to their fans in the late part of 2015.
