THE SOUND OF BOIS D'ARC
Band Information
We struggled with a name for quite some time before we settled with Bois D'arc. The meaning behind the name Bois D'arc came from the tree. The Bois D'arc tree is very rugged on the outside with thorns and needles, but is very beautiful on the inside with a colorful yellow tinge to it. Our music is kind of similar to this tree in that our music we write tends to be more dark, but our lyrics tend to be more bright. With the balance of the two it really draws people in and lets them explore how darkness and brightness work together in music.
ABOUT: BOIS D'ARC
Bois D'arc consists of Kyra Williams and Stefan Findley with Tyler Berry on drums and James Beck on bass based out of Pueblo, Colorado. Kyra and Stefan first began playing music together on their youth worship team at their church. It wasn't until a few years later that they began collaborating musically outside of the church environment. They soon realized that they connected together well as musicians and quickly began writing original songs, developing their own unique singer/songwriter sound. Now with the addition of Tyler Berry on drums and James Beck on bass they are able to create a full sound that compliments the vocals and guitars. Between the variety of instruments they use and the harmony blending, they thrive to write music that speaks to people in personal ways, allowing others to create their own journey through each song.
