The band was started by Davis Drake (bass), Evan Todd (drums) and Nathan Hurley (lead vocal and guitar) in 2014. The Guys grew into a four piece band when Nathan’s younger brother, Caleb, became old enough to tour. Initially, the group played folk music, but, as the band grew, so did their musical styling. Since September of 2015, they have toured all over the country playing for and drawing a wide array of audiences because of their eclectic sound created by their coupling of honest lyrics you'd expect from veteran musicians and an upbeat, pop-rock vibe that you'd expect from such young talent. They hit the music scene in a big way.
