FLAVOR has been fighting to spread their fresh brand of funky pop-rock & roll since their first studio album, recorded in 2001. The ensuing years would bring much touring, many accolades, and quite a bit more music.

THEIR MUSIC fuses pop-sensibility in the spirit of Maroon 5 and funky hooks reminiscent of Lenny Kravitz. Their musicianship is familiar to Chili Peppers & Dave Mathews fans and is laced with soulful vocals that provoke comparisons to Jeff Buckley & Prince. Their strong and catchy songwriting yields their own unique style, however, and sets them apart from so many other musical acts in their genre.

THEIR AWARDS include “Best Rock Album” by the 2003 MN Music Awards for their sophomore album, “Red,” and they were nominated “Best Rock Band” the same year and “Best New Band” in 2002. That year they also snagged a NARAS contest award, were named Jim Beam’s “Band of the Week,” and won Minnesota’s KQRS Homegrown contest.

THEIR PERFORMANCES are contagiously energetic and have brought them to countless venues, colleges, and festivals within their hometown of Minneapolis, MN and throughout the Midwest. They have shared the stage with Jonny Lang, Joe Firstman, Dada, Little Feat, The Nadas, and many others.

THEIR STORY began when Wade and guitarist Alex Moreno formed a band in High School and went on to make much music together. They eventually (and temporarily) parted ways to go on and start other projects. Shortly after, Linkert wanted to take some of his music into the studio and to the stage again. He named this first recording “Flavor,” performing all of the instruments himself. He later recruited Ben Shaffer and Austin Dingus to perform the music live and eventually joined back up with Alex, a fellow songwriter. They have since written and recorded 2 more studio albums and are expecting to release a fourth in the summer, entitled “Secret Solution.”

THEIR PLANS are to continue to write genre-bending music and tour incessantly to spread the FLAVOR gospel one stage at a time while having fun doing it.
