Meet The Lotus Theory
Hey! We're an Indie band based out of beautiful, Columbia, South Carolina. We are 4 UofSC students who met studying at the School of Music. Inspired by the local music scene, we play a mix of popular covers and original music. Getting our start playing at local bars and venues, we are very eager to spread our music throughout the southeast!

Cassidy
drums
From professional tennis player, to Hulk cosplayer (i'm sure), to full time drummer, from Myrtle Beach, SC, Cassidy "Mother Fucking" Cocca was supposed to be a fill in when TLT began but she was too good to let her walk so we kept her and now shes not allowed to leave.

Reilly
lead guitar/background vocals
From Cranford, New Jersey, Reilly is the newest addition to TLT. Bro has been ripping the LEFT HANDED guitar since he was 6-7 years old. It's just not fair.
