The storyline of The 17th Floor begins when Greg Thompson (Drums), formed the core of The 17th Floor including his brother Aaron (Bass Guitar) and neighbor Faryl After lengthy and exhausting audition periods, the rest of the band was chosen, and they were on their way! It wasn't long before they were touring college campuses all over the mid-west, and becoming a favorite at every campus they visited.
Their big break came when female rap group TLC happened to stumble upon one of their rehearsals in Atlanta. Needing a band for their upcoming tour, TLC hired them on the spot and, within a few short months, The 17th Floor went from performing at fraternity houses to 20,000-seat arenas. During that time, The 17th Floor shared the stage with such acts as TLC, M.C. Hammer, Boyz II Men, and Jodeci.
After the completion of the TLC world tour, The 17th Floor jumped back into the smaller-venue market and was better than ever! They continued touring college campuses and even did a 6-month tour in Japan and Taiwan. They returned to the United States hoping to embark on yet another national tour. They didn't have to wait long.
The 17th Floor was contacted by a young, up-and-coming R&B artist named Usher. He was very impressed with their work, and wanted The 17th Floor to assist with preparing for his upcoming tour. The band happily obliged by rehearsing with Usher for his "My Way" tour and appearing with him on the FOX Network's Keenan Ivory Wayans Show.
The 17th Floor is excited about playing for smaller, personal audiences, as often found on college campuses and in college towns. Performing a combination of popular cover tunes and impressive originals, The 17th Floor will turn any event into a PARTY.
Get ready to be blown away!
