The HA

The HA is a San Francisco based band that plays Beach Funk Americana; music that celebrates the human condition and the gathering of friends. Music to party to. The HA is frontman Brooks Dierker on vocals, harmonica, keys and melodica; Thomas Patrick on guitar; Michael Dyer on drums; Oliver Henrickson on bass. Since the summer of 2015, the band has hosted a number of ‘Party With Purpose’ events across CA to benefit local non-profits and organizations. In the spring of 2016, The HA was selected for the inaugural artist residency program hosted by Project Amplifi and Smiley’s Schooner Saloon in Bolinas, CA. The residency focused on artist development and community leadership. In the fall of 2016, the band will release their first full length album, Bohemian Howl. In addition to performances at music venues across the greater part of CA and the Southwest, The HA has also played a number of large events, including historic Bay to Breakers, Off the Grid, and various other events across San Francisco and local festivals. Formerly known as Hopi Astronaut, the band was formed back in 2012 by founding members Brooks Dierker, Michael Dyer, Thomas Patrick and former member Ansgar Lorenz. Our Story: Our friend’s band from LA was looking for an opening act in SF. Our drummer, who had just taken his first lesson, convinced a few of his drinking buddies they could pull it off and The HA was formed. Hello. We are The HA. We're from SF, CA and we play Beach Funk Americana. We want to party with you.
