When we first got together, we weren't really sure if we were going to be a cover band or an all original band. We thought Unknown Reason about summed it up!

We play all over Northeastern Ohio. From clubs to bars to festivals and private parties

It's a lot harder to filter out the crap!

Absolutely. There's no shame in knowing it takes an incredible amount of resources to make things happen in this biz.

Together since 1999, Unknown Reason perform covers and original songs in various Cleveland area establishments. They have begun to amass quite a following since the release of their critically acclaimed CD, "Reality Won't Do". The band also performs all-original shows and "music series" programs. Their style ranges from 60's 70's pop rock to more modern alternative.

Band Members: Mark Ostrander, the band's primary singer/songwriter, has been penning, recording and performing original compositions since 1980.Lead and rhythm guitars as well as harmonica, are in his large bag of tricks.

Banham, Lead and rhythm guitars and secondary singer/songwriter is an amazing foil to Ostrander. Their intricate harmonies and guitar work play off each other very powerfully. From the mid 1980s until the formation of Unknown Reason, Banham and Ostrander performed as an acoustic guitar duo all around Ohio.

Drummer/percussionist, Eddy, along with bassist, Thompson, provide fine harmonies and a tight foundation. Both individuals are music veterans having performed in blues, country, folk, rock and alternative bands since the 1970s.
