About the band
The Coronaca Band was born in the thick of the COVID craze in 2020 when Ben Meredith moved to town. He joined his brother-in-law Jason Brooks (a veteran of the Greenwood music scene) and Brian Bloomer to form the beginnings of a band, practicing trying to remember what it was like when bars and restaurants were open. Soon after, Jason recruited Brian Garrett and Richie Williams to round out the group.
In 2024, Rip Tafta joined the group to add some more guitar power when Brian Garrett is out of town, and eventually Garrett got a bit too busy to stick around, but we still loop him in from time to time.
In 2026, Cody Gurley joined the group, adding lead vocals, backing vocals, and a serious amount of guitar talent.
The goal is simple: you have as much fun as we do. Come on out, bob your head and sing along.
