ROCKERS Sienna are a new band on the music scene but have already grabbed glories other acts would envy.
Formed just two months ago from the ashes of bands Stars at Midnight and Gates to Lidice, the five-piece are already headlining top venues around the Midlands.
In positive moves to get their sound to a wider audience, Sienna are booked for shows in Manchester and London and have been played on radio stations in the UK and USA.
Vocalist, Sam Duggins, said: “It’s very exciting, it is important to get our name out there and we have already been in talks with various management agencies.”
Sienna, who hail from Kingswinford and Halesowen, will be gigging at the Mitre, Stourbridge, on Friday October 24 and The Rock Cafe 2000, Stourbridge, on Thursday October 30.
