Future Islands was formed at Baltimore, Maryland.

They are a Synthpop group comprising of:

Gerrit Welmers ( Keyboards )

William Cashin ( Bass & Guitars )

Sam Herring    ( Lead Vocals )

Mike Lowry      ( Percussion )

The band’s name ” Future Islands ”  has no Secret or Personal meanings.

In the beginning the band had two names that they were thinking of using.” Already Islands ”  and  ” Future Shoes “. Neither name appealed to the band. So they combined the names  to make:

” Already Shoe’s ”  and   ” Future Islands “.

The band chose Future Islands because ” You don’t know what Future Shoes will look like ( But you know that you are going to buy them ) so why take a chance on a dumb name ”  and ” Future Islands ” became the name of the band.

Boring piece of information ( I Know ) but that is the history of their name.

To date the group has released  Five albums .

Future Islands is one solid band.

Be well. Be Safe
