The Evansville Transit Authority, now in their 23rd year as a band, have always held a deep respect for the music they play. The band's philosophy revolves around performing songs by artists that the band members and their audiences know and love, but reinterpreting them in their own unique, organic way. Never restricted by the way a song was originally recorded, the band freely experiments and explores the many possibilities that the music offers, melding songs and ideas together into cohesive sets of non-stop music. The core of the band has remained solidly in-tact since its inception in 2002, and ETA has become one of the longest-running and popular cover bands in Vermont!
Since 2007, ETA has included the vast and acclaimed bass playing skills of Chris Doncaster. He brought his unique set of talents and perspectives to the group, and along with Kyle, Adam, and Travis, Chris has been present for ETA's greatest period of success, including jam-packed schedules, sold-out concerts and festivals, and the recording of an album of original songs. Today, ETA continues to have enormous success in their home, the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, as well as around the rest of Vermont. Often performing as a trio featuring Kyle, Travis, and Chris ("3TA") they have expanded their sound to include fully acoustic sets as well.
Kyle recorded his debut solo album, a collection of Americana music called "Faded Colors in Darkened Skies," in 2016 with contributions from Chris and many other talented musicians and friends of ETA.
In 2022, Kyle formed The Earthbound Spirits, which features Travis and Chris alongside lead guitarist Rudy Dauth and keyboardist Mike Fried. The group has recorded three EPs of original material and a live album,a nd they plan to record to the studio to record their first full-length effort in the fall of 2025.
