“ We’ re still like that,” Amanda Webb said.
She said the performers’ different personalities mesh well and enhance the others’ stage presence and composition capabilities.
Webb said her husband played guitar in many groups and many genres, including blues and country, but really enjoys playing fast riffs with Sustayn.“ It gives him a place to let loose,” she said. Brian Webb grew up in Brown County, and Amanda Webb has lived here since they got married 20 years ago. The couple, who have five boys ranging from age 13 to 22, live within a five minute drive from the Bill Monroe Music Park and Campground. Jared Asher hails from Martinsville, while Nicohl Asher grew up in places including Utah and California and moved to Mooresville when the Ashers got married.
Todd Cramer, a fellow musician, said,“ Two married couples coming together to make a four-piece, original band— that says a lot about each of their characters. Individually, you would have four different sounding bands, but they are writing together from different perspectives and I think people will find it appealing to hear what they offer.”
Cindy Hiland-McNalley, who runs a central Indiana consulting business, said she lives next to Sustayn’ s studio and has the opportunity to hear them on a weekly basis.
“ I have followed them to many venues and events,” she said.“ I have purchased many items of merchandise in support of their endeavors. I have invited many over to experience their music and vibe. They have a unique sound with a raspy voice and heavy rock.”
Amanda Webb said the band is raising funds to support the band’ s trip to the ISSA in August and to defray expenses related to recording.
As of late May, Sustayn had garnered more than 60,000 streams on Spotify this year.
