About Us
2025 was a great year!
The 8 East Band would like to thank all our venues, families, friends, and fans for their incredible support throughout the year. We are truly humbled. On May 18, 2024, we celebrated a major milestone, our 100th show since forming in 2016. This was an unforgettable moment for the band. And coming up on July 9, 2026, we’ll mark our 10‑year anniversary with a special event
at Mr. Peabody’s Bar and Grill of Encinitas. There’s much more on the way in 2026, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
