About the Band

Herndon Festival 2011

The Band Arteless has been moving crowds and defying musical classification for more than 3 years. Generally described as a fusion of Rock, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz & Blues. Arteless Band Members (ABM) has local ties all over the Northern Virginia (NoVa) area, especially around Fairfax & Prince William Counties. Having grown up in & around the NoVA area some ABM remember attending many concerts, shows & festivals as far back as 1989. Now it’s their turn, Now it’s their turn, on Saturday, June 4, 2011 Arteless played & rocked the Herndon Festival. Those in attendance came out, moved, grooved and shared an amazing musical experience that surely got them lifted.

Arteless was formed on April 20, 2008. The original members were hip hop artist Cratic, Sy and Myz Rae on vocals, DJ ROBO on drums, MANWICH on bass, David L on keys and Art Wolff on guitar.

Shortly after the departure of fun & crazy cool Art on May 11, 2008, guitarist R&B auditioned for the guitar role on May 21 & played His first set as a ABM on May 22, 2008. In August of 2008, David L moved to Atlanta for college & to pursue his passion for music production. Arteless began cutting their teeth at various local venues such as T T Reynolds, Majestic & most notably Jimmy’s Tavern in Herndon where Wednesday’s open mic nights was one of the first to showcase the up and coming Arteless. Since that time the lineup has stayed intact with a few hiccups, but the members have developed & mastered the sound which is now Arteless.
