Biography
Alternative rock outfit originating from Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Brandin Lea (Dallas, Texas, USA; vocals/guitar) and Cory Kreig (b. Abilene, Texas, USA; guitar/keyboards) first met while they were classmates at Southwest High School in Fort Worth, and began playing together in various bands after graduating in 1995. An embryonic version of Flickerstick, featuring Brandin’s brother Fletcher Lea (b. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; bass), Rex James Ewing (guitar) and Jeff Lowe (drums), struggled to gain a reputation outside of their home town.
