Andrew Kearse

Andrew grew up in Columbia, graduating from Hammond, and then moved to Atlanta to complete higher education at the University of Emory. Exploring the areas such as Little Five Points and Buckhead, he quickly grew an affinity for the underground music venues that contributed to his love of blues and rock. In fact, his first leap into the music scene as a performer was initiated when he and his friend of over a decade started jamming out to blues riffs in their living rooms, leading to the formation of Swamp Moss, Seth and Andrew's first pet project. Andrew's liberal arts background coupled with his affinity for music has given him the capability to shine in any avenue. When is isn't playing music, you can find Andrew helping his community as an insurance salesman, playing disc golf with his friends, and creating fellowship in his church.

Dr. Seth Morris

Seth is a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. A native of Lexington, South Carolina, Seth received his undergraduate and doctoral degrees both from The University of South Carolina where he worked with collegiate and professional athletes, now running his own practice--Forged Physical Therapy. He first discovered his love for playing to an audience when he and his coworker, Andrew, began playing guitar and singing at their local Lexington YMCA after hours. After years of playing simply for pleasure, Seth finally decided to take his talents to the stage, where he eventually found enough notability to bring Andrew into his acts. The rest, as they say, is history. In his spare time, Seth enjoys walking his dog, spending time with his lovely wife Lindsey, and having outrageously existential conversations.

Sam Choate

Sam has an extensive background in music, growing up with musician parents and performing solo gigs since high school. He started playing drums in 2021 and hasn't touched a guitar since. As the most versatile and well-seasoned musician of the group, Sam is responsible for MV's dive into more contemporary style and music selection. His love for vocals makes him a tremendous asset to the band--we really couldn't pull this off without him. He loves video games, anime, and hot tubs... and his girlfriend Laney.

Kyle Jones

Born in Maryland where his music roots originated, Kyle developed an on-stage presence at a young age. However, much of Kyle's persona stems from his time in Southeast Florida, having spent his adolescence and teenage years there. Kyle further developed his skill set touring on big stages and even overseas, focusing on country, blues, and classic rock. He attended Monmouth College in Illinois, where he balanced a winning swimming and water polo career, his economics degree, and discovered a love for Jazz. Kyle took a leap to start fresh in Columbia, SC, and quickly and happily took up a permanent role in MV. You can find Kyle serving his community as a banker, working out at the Lexington MUV, playing golf, and jamming with the bandmates.
