Biography

Captiva is an alternative rock band hailing from Kansas City, Missouri. The band is comprised of Jackson Ries (vocals/guitar), Patrick McQuaid (vocals/guitar), Mike Stancic (bass), and Hank Wiedel (drums). Captiva formed in October 2013 when Patrick had moved just down the street in the same neighborhood as Jackson in the suburbs of Leawood, KS. After one jam session, they decided to start up a project and the rest is history! Captiva first started gaining attention on college campuses around the Midwest, while they were still students themselves. For the last two years, the band has been circuiting small clubs across the region and opening for other national touring acts. Captiva has played on numerous festival stages such as Backwoods Music Festival (x2), Fashion Meets Music Festival (x2), SXSW, Boulevardia, Audiofeed Festival, BuyWeek BrewFest, and Middle of the Map Fest. In 2015, they began gaining strong momentum, securing college radio-play across the country, and opening for major acts such as Twenty One Pilots (Starlight Theatre), The 1975 (Starlight Theatre – May 2016), The Expendables (Winter Tour 2016), The Wild Feathers (Riot Room), Magic City Hippies (Granada Theater), and The Lonely Biscuits (recordBar). They have released two music videos on Youtube since the release of their debut full-length album "Pay No Mind" in August of 2017 for their tracks "So Psychedelic" and "Brookside".
