The Reclamation Project arose out of the eclectic-but-rich music scene of Snohomish, Washington, where one can find a variety of public music performances in bars, restaurants and theaters. Patrick Thayer, the band’s lead guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, hosted open mic events in Snohomish for decades, and that brought him into contact with players who shared a similar taste in music and joy in performing for local audiences. It was there that Patrick met Jeff Crookall, Rod Ashton, and Dean Rappleye. These four coalesced into an energetic, fun-loving band that has steadily developed a devoted following in Snohomish County and beyond.
