Artist Spotlight: Captiva

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Captiva

 

1. They’re from Kansas City, MO!

2. They met in high school!

Captiva started after Patrick McQuaid, Jackson Ries and Hank Wiedel met in high school.

3. Their band name, Captiva, was inspired by an island!

“Captiva was born from the idea of ‘staying buzzed’ and enjoying the good in the world around you. There is an island in Florida called Captiva, a destination for many when they are looking to get away. We liked the concept of living life without worry, so we decided that Captiva is a great fit for our music and us.”

4. They’ve never been to Columbus! (FMMF will be sure to leave a lasting impression!)

“Our favorite part of performing in Columbus is definitely being able to share our music with an entirely new audience. FMMF is our first show in Ohio, and we can’t wait to show Columbus what we’ve got in store for them.”

5. They hope to leave the same lasting impression on Columbus.

“First and foremost, we are looking forward to seeing all of the new faces at the festival. The best feeling in the world is when we walk off stage knowing that someone has become a fan. That is what we strive for, and hope to accomplish that in Columbus.

Also, JJ has a huge crush on Lights, so he can’t wait to finally meet her!”
