We’re two friends who grew up on opposite ends of the earth. In 2015, we met at a retreat in the mountains of Montana and have been close friends and writing songs together ever since. Individually, we were artists and songwriters but found that when we write songs together, they turn out to be something much more unique and special.

2019 was a fun one. We played a ton of festivals and got to tour with Rend Collective, Zach Williams and Tenth Avenue North. This year we’re releasing a bunch of new music and headlining our own tours. We would love to see you along the way!

Land of Color started when two singer/song writers Gary Rea and Thomas Ewing met in the mountains of Montana in 2015. Before the band started, they were both worship leaders and solo artist in their own right but they feel like the Lord brought them together to create something that is unique and greater than the sum of the parts. Gary was born and raised in South Africa and Thomas is from Colorado. Their different cultural and musical backgrounds have resulted in a unique sound that is a blend of African rhythms, singable melodies and tight harmonies. 

The guys talk about how the band was birthed out of community and that it was at family gatherings in the early days of their friendship that they would grab their guitars and start writing songs. “The songs came quickly and easily” says Thomas “and they were simply an overflow of what the Lord was doing in our lives individually and as a community.” In 2016, they decided to record an album of the songs that they had been writing under the name HOLY MNTN and before long they were getting invites from all over the country for them to perform their music. In 2018, they changed their name to Land of Color and signed a record deal with Remade Records, an imprint label under Sony/Provident.
