Indie pop rock band StriVe is releasing their debut single “You’re The One” on August 30, 2025. Founded by Sound House student Caleb Farnsworth and his best friend Kai Marcano-Hunter in October 2023, StriVe now also includes Sound House students Allie Farnsworth on bass and Josh Godowsky on drums.

During lessons in November 2024, Caleb brought the lyrics of “You’re The One” to life with Maddi on instruments and production. The band has since performed the song live at Old Bust Head and at the 2025 Sound House Showcase. They’ll perform it again on the release date for our IT’S NOT OVER YET! summer concert at the Remington Community Garden.
