Silver Eclipse is a four member band from Tuscarawas County that plays a mix of originals, and the best in classic and modern rock tunes. Their music and style appeal to an audience of all ages and generations. Even though all of the band members are still in their teens, their musical talents far exceed what many people would ever expect from a group at this age…
The band was started due to the creative genius of it's two original members, Stephen Tripp and Bradon Smith. Two friends sharing the same passion for music and love of performing. After "jamming" for about a year they decided it was time to put their talents to use, not just as a way of potentially making some money, but mainly for the fun of playing. They added their current bass player, Christopher Tripp and started a small venture in the art of live performance.
Originally performing under the title "Mothers Nightmare", the band has undergone several changes over the years including a new name "Silver Eclipse" along with several changes of band members. Sam Vanfossen, who joined the band in the fall of 2006, brings the perfect balance of vocals and masterful guitar playing to the fold. Raised in a family of musicians, Sam has only begun to tap into his full potential.
Together, these four talented musicians, each with a desire to pursue a future in music, put forth an energy and performance that any audience is sure to enjoy. With all the parts covered, a new image, a new name, and a new sense of excitement and energy in the band, Silver Eclipse presses on, determined to leave their mark, and more importantly, have a lot of fun doing it.
