The Mantras, a five-piece rock band born of Greensboro, NC have been conquering crowds and melting minds all over the country for two decades. A central tenant of the band’s music lies in their ability to play a vast array of genres. The music is best defined by each listener’s ear and, equally important, their experience.

Since The Mantras’ inception in the mid 2000's, the band has built a catalog of 7 studio albums and hundreds of professionally recorded live shows. Performing an entirely different set of music each night is an integral part of the band’s mission as well as the ability to improvise in between orchestrated pieces. With eclectic influences of sounds from around the globe, The Mantras create a musical escapade during each performance, giving every ounce of emotion to their craft of expression and communication through music.

The Mantras are a family of rock. Their closely-knit bonds can truly be felt while the band performs and is a critical feature of their community. One can easily tell that the musical pockets created by radical guitar riffs, gut checked bass lines, cascading keys, two symbiotic drummers, and a complete light show are no accident. The musical conversation on stage is simply beautiful to watch. The Mantras’ loyal fan base can testify to the reciprocation of love between performer and attendee. In a scene where it is sometimes difficult to stabilize a fan base and a consistent identity, The Mantras do just that. The music has all of the ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys and patterns of constriction and release that can hook fans for life. Each show is a story. Each story is unique.
