1997’s members met in college. The drummer used to listen to radio constantly as a kid. The lead singer wanted to start a band since he was in grade school. 1997 began playing at Network, a college club. The band used to practice at the guitarist's house.

1997 were convinced their hard work had paid off after their first single rose to the top of the charts. The band plays plenty of arenas, but would rather perform in the smaller clubs in which they began.

1997's newest album has taken the group in a brand new direction, using more instruments than ever before. The group is in the start of the tour promoting for their most current release. 1997's members see this tour as a chance to expose a whole new audience to their music.

1997 will mix songs from the new record with hits from its past album. The group has a love affair with New York so they are sure to stop by and play a show whenever they are touring. The group’s tour schedule and concert information is outlined on TheSeats.com, along with the latest 1997 tickets and seating charts available.
