the potentials [vs. rock band]

About Me

"The Next Attraction"

The Potentials are a rock band that originally formed in Fairfax, Virginia. The band was created by singer and songwriter Benjamin David, complimented by Andrew Goodwin on drums, Ryan Wagner on guitar, and Mike Riddile, who is new to the group, on electric piano. Benjamin's ear for strong melodies, blended with heart felt lyrics, provide the blueprint for their songs which combine rhythmic dance elements and crunching guitars to create their style of good ol' fashion rock n roll. Known for their energetic live performances, they are the balance of strong musicianship and showmanship.
