About Me

The Band Lockren;There is no doubt that female country is one of the fastest growing areas of the music industry and the band "Lockren" is here to bring it to you. We are one of only a hand full of bands in the Midwest that features a female lead singer. This allows us to do something completely different in the live music industry. The band "Lockren" was started during the summer of 2005 and is made up of a great mixture of youth and experience.Our first experienced member is Jon Purdy on Guitar. Jon is a veteran of over 30 years of playing experience around the U.S. and abroad before returning home to Cedar Falls. On Bass we have Jim Lee. Jim is a veteran with over 30 years of live music experience around the US and now resides in Evansdale. And on Drums from Cedar Rapids we have Michael Jensen. Michael is also a veteran on the music scene. He has been playing drums for over 30 years, on the road and around the Eastern Iowa. Our final member, and bringing the youth and enthusiasm to the band, is a 21 year old from Coggon, Amanda Loughren. Amanda started her singing career at the ripe old age of 13 at her school variety show and has been singing ever since. Amanda has earned the respect of her piers with her vocal ability that is second to none. Amanda's vocals, combined with the harmonies, make this band something special and an experience you will not soon forget.The band Lockren is primarily a top 40 country band with music from artists such as Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Shania Twain, Sugarland, Trick Pony, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, and Johnny Cash to name a few. But we do not stop there. We have something for just about everyone with classic rock favorites from artists like AC/DC, Joan Jett, Led Zeppelin, Pat Benatar, and ZZ Top among others.Since our beginning in 2005 we have been fortunate to gain a lot of new fans/friends and we are all very excited about our future. So make your plans to come join the "Lockren" experience soon, and we hope to see you at a gig in the very near future.The Band "Lockren"
