TAKILMA...the name was found on a road sign that leads to a magical forest location with beautiful rivers in Southern Oregon that founding member Big Nate (bass/vox) encountered in 1995. While forming the band with founding member BK (guitar/vox/keys) in Northern California the name was suggested as the band lacked in any good alternatives and the name was unique. It was adopted and the band was born.
Since 1996 Takilma has been rocking the western half of the US with its unique brand & mix of rock, blues, & jams during its reknowned live performances. Right out of high school, founding members BK & Big Nate began mixing solid modern rocking original songs with classic rock and blues covers in a evolving jam style. This unique sound for their scene and time frame allowed them to perform live regularly in clubs, bars, fairs and festivals all over the Western United States.
The bands current line up for 2024 features long time lead guitar player Adam Barreras & long time drummer Cameron McLaren. From local bars and clubs to main stages at large music festivals Takilma always brings some tastey rock jams that keep the people shuffling their feet and asking for more!
