THE F1RST ANNUAL formed around the end of 2018. The members all met in college at Middle Tennessee State University, and after graduation, began writing, recording, and performing the Pop/Rock music you hear today. Due to Stryker’s inherent southern drawl, the band’s genre is sometimes jokingly referred to as “Southern Hard Pop”. They draw a lot of their influence from current artists in the pop/rock community, and mix in a little 80s rock and early 2000s pop/punk. The goal of TFA is to provide both an escape, and a sense of community to anyone struggling to make lemonade out of all life’s lemons. Follow Stryker on Instagram @stryker_music and @thef1rstannual.
