12/8/21 - After an 11 year hiatus from ARRA, Tyler Holcomb returns home...
ARRA just announced that they would be reuniting with their one-time frontman and Chicago Cover Band Veteran, Tyler Holcomb. According to founding member Kevin Conner, "This change means the band will be looking at new venues to play, available for more show dates each year, and refreshing the song list well suited for his powerful vocal range."
“Most of all it's about the music and connecting with the fans on the music we all grew up with and love. To this day there is nothing like the feeling you get when you look out into the audience and they are smiling and singing the lyrics back to us on stage. It's a vibration unlike anything else in the universe.”

When asked what it means to reunite with his former band members after eleven years, Tyler had this to say, "Most of all, it's about the music and connecting with the fans on the music we all grew up with and love. To this day, there is nothing like the feeling you get when you look out into the audience, and they are all smiling and singing the lyrics back to us on stage. It's a vibration unlike anything else in the universe." He continued by stating, "It's incredibly satisfying and humbling to play a part in continuing this band's rich legacy, one that includes three decades of amazing singers like Ron Platt (of the legendary Kansas), John Swenson (Cherry Pie), and most recently Pete Greco (Lounge Puppets)."
Tyler and the band have ambitious plans for the fresh line-up in 2022. They include a new website and blog, a song of the month (Tyler will be publishing on his youtube channel), new ARRA swag, and for the first time, even some original ARRA music.
Tyler - this is OUTSTANDING news. I have memories to last a lifetime from when you were with Hairbangers and can’t WAIT to hear you rock it out with ARRA. #TYLERISBACKBABY
