February 22, 2025I was out with friends in downtown Santa Rosa having dinner. When we walked out of the restaurant we heard some killer live music in the distance. We followed the rockin sound to Belly Left Coast Kitchen where we saw quite a crowd gathered around 945 band! We were blown away by the passion and talent of all 4 band members ! The lead singer Sophia’s voice is crazy good. Her partner Trey has amazing vocals too . Their combined vocals create a beautiful sound.
To my delight, I was able to hire them for my boyfriend’s birthday party . They played fabulous covers that had everyone up dancing and singing along! They don’t only do covers they play originals too . They treated us to a few of those that blew us away .
I highly recommend them if you want your party to be something special 🤟💕👏🏼

February 21, 2025Srsly, we had a Porchfest in Sebastopol and 945 was one of the major hits of that day. They even came from another gig and made it on time. Superb performance and we'd love to have them back again.
Actually, I've booked them for an even bigger show on July 3rd.

February 19, 2025We have heard 945 at a Brewery in Petaluma and they were so good we had them play for our Son's Wedding at Dillon Beach!
Outstanding, they worked with our son and his Fiancé to create a music set to their liking and it was awesome!
Did not disappoint!
I have also had them play at our Private Country Club for a special event and the guests loved them too!
Book them if have the chance!

945 – Alt Rock With Heart and Soul
945 is an alt-rock band that blends the gritty emotion and energy of '90s and 2000s rock with their own fresh, authentic sound. The band—comprising Sophia (lead vocals), Trey (guitar/vocals), Zen (bass/vocals), and Cam (drums)—came together through their shared love of alt-rock and their time working at the School of Rock. Though their journey is just beginning, the chemistry between these four musicians is undeniable, and their connection is evident in every performance.
At the heart of 945 is Sophia, whose emotive and powerful vocals have quickly become a signature of the band. Known for her incredible stage presence, Sophia pours raw emotion into every song, with a passion that often leaves audiences teary-eyed. Her unique ability to feel every note has earned her accolades, including Best Lead Vocalist in the North Bay ((phone number hidden)4) through Bohemian Magazine.
But 945 is more than just Sophia. The band is a collective force, with each member bringing their own talents and creativity to the table. Trey, who handles guitar and vocals, not only backs up Sophia with harmonies, but also takes the lead on several tracks. His intricate guitar work and emotive voice add depth and variety to their sound, creating a dynamic live experience.
On bass, Zen not only lays down the foundation of the band’s sound, but also writes and performs his own original songs. His latest single, "SoulSearching," has already made waves and can be found on Spotify. The band's support of Zen’s solo work further solidifies their collaborative spirit and commitment to musical exploration. And with Cam on drums, the rhythm section brings a steady yet powerful drive, holding it all together while adding intensity to their live performances.
Already earning recognition for their talent and passion, 945 has been named Best Rock Band in the North Bay by Bohemian Magazine. They’ve already debuted three original tracks—"Mind War," "D.O.S.E," and "Santa Barbara"—at their live shows and are currently working on their debut EP. Their music, which blends personal experiences and heartfelt lyrics, has a universal appeal, speaking to the trials of life and the desire for connection.
Known for their high-energy performances, 945 has become a staple on the local scene, performing regularly in Sonoma County, Marin, and San Francisco. With a mix of original songs and powerful covers (think "Creep," "Zombie," and "Say It Isn’t So"), 945 brings their own twist to alt-rock anthems, always with the same passion and intensity that defines their sound.
With an EP on the horizon and plans to tour, 945 is just getting started—but they’re already leaving an indelible mark on the rock scene.
