Meet the Stone Petals Band
Addison Andara
Songwriter, Vocals
Originally from Los Angeles, California, Addison Andara is the lead singer, songwriter, and co-founder of the Stone Petals Band. Addison discovered music at a young age following the loss of her aunt, which lead her to sit down behind her great-grandmother's piano and write her first song. With the support of her family she continued to write music and hone in her musical craft through studying the art of Soul music. The following year Addison was recruited by the student-run Riekestra organization to tour Spain as a lead vocalist, ultimately to find herself further pursuing the art of commercial songwriting at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). During her first semester at MTSU she was given a week to form a band, which led her to meet Graham Lukas through a class friend and former guitarist Easton Swan, forming what would become the Stone Petals Band. Currently, Addison is determined to write music in every genre. Her goal is to ultimately become an Artist, keep writing new songs everyday, tour the world, and bring people together with her one of a kind voice.

Graham Lukas
Bass, Guitar, Vocals, Live Sound
Born and raised in McCall, Idaho, Graham Lukas is the bassist, co-founder, and system architect behind The Stone Petals Band. As a Native American artist and bassist with over 11 years of experience, he is known for pushing the instrument beyond its traditional role and into the foreground of live performance.
At 16, Lukas studied at Berklee College of Music, immersing himself in contemporary musicianship, theory, and performance before stepping fully into the real world of live music. By 17, he was playing live for a living in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area, spending two years performing with multiple bands in high-demand environments. Alongside his work as a bassist, Lukas developed experience in live sound and audio engineering, providing sound for venues, regional acts, and festivals, including the Spokes & Bones Festival in Myrtle Beach (SC) and more. This dual role forged a rare perspective between technicality and musicianship that has led to his pursuing of an Audio Production and Audio Sciences degree at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) at the age of 21.
