BOOHER, the indie rock band fronted by Michael Booher, is making a powerful return. Known for their raw, emotive sound, the band is deeply rooted in Austin’s vibrant music scene. Michael Booher first captured attention in the 2000s with Zykos, a band that left a lasting impact on the indie rock community. After Zykos, Michael launched BOOHER, releasing the “Funny Tears” LP in 2017, which further cemented his place in the music world.
Between 2018 and 2021, Michael faced a series of personal challenges, including the loss of friends, past bandmates, and his parents. These tragedies, compounded by the pandemic, nearly led him to abandon music. However, in the fall of 2021, a renewed spark was ignited by longtime friend and fellow musician Aaron Sinclair. The two, who had been friends since high school in Houston, began writing songs together in Aaron’s garage, breathing new life into BOOHER.
The current BOOHER lineup reflects this evolution. Aaron Sinclair is now a key collaborator, bringing fresh energy and vision to the band. Longtime guitarist Ben Lance remains a vital member, along with Evan Crowley on bass, Keith Lough on drums, and multi-instrumentalist Michael St. Clair rejoining the fold. Brent Baldwin completes this dynamic 7-piece ensemble.
Their renewed creative synergy was honed through live performances, capturing the band’s vigor and evolution. The new music reflects this journey, blending their experiences with the raw, emotive sound that BOOHER is known for.
