When I woke from a dream....

About Me

Into being: The roots of Enowning can be traced to the early fall of 2005. Prior to the bands formation all members had crossed paths at one point or another within the University of Wisconsin La Crosse’s music department. Each member is attending the university as a music major. However, the real connection came in November 2005 when Eric Streske and Jourdan Hines met in a piano class. It was not long until both musicians realized a striking similarity in musical taste. Right away they knew they had something special. Jourdan presented his original compositions that functioned as a chordal and melodic foundation, which then Eric enhanced with his unique guitar riffs and captivating solos. Shortly thereafter Alex Grech was added. Eric had known Alex since high school having played together in various jazz bands throughout the years. This planted a seed that would later help in developing the chemistry of Enowning. Don Hokanson was the final member of Enowning, bringing his progressive rock flavor on the bass guitar. From this, Enowning came into being.Enowning in the now: After wowing crowds in the La Crosse area with their new and innovated musical style, Enowning knows that they can make an impact with their music. Their music can be described as thought provoking pop rock with thick harmonies. They just released their first EP titled "The Dream." Enowning is working towards expanding from their roots as a local band into the Midwest region. a
