Wayland, named after the band's hometown area in Michigan, has been a band for 6 years, but has only had their name since 2010. The band is managed by Jude Cole (Lifehouse) and Jesse James Dupree (Jackyl, Full Throttle Saloon). The band lives, and rehearses in a pre-civil war farm house in West Michigan when not on tour, which is very rare these days. Wayland released a 4 song EP in December 2011, wich includes the current single "Welcome to My Head" which is #1 on 97.9 WGRD Grand Rapids, and their tribute to a MI great, Bob Seger's "Fire Down Below."
