One Lone Car

One Lone Car | What do you do when you’re a buzzy, up-and-coming band about to tour prestigious venues with one of your musical idols and your lead singer ups and quits? That’s a question best answered by St. Louis indie popsters One Lone Car. The quartet had only recently released their sophomore full-length, the seemingly innocent yet masterfully assembled North, South, East & the Rest. They were about to go on tour with the Gin Blossoms when their singer abruptly announced his departure. What could have been a heartbreaker—canceling the tour, missing the showcase—turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As it happened, One Lone Car (Neal Klein, guitar; Michael Hickey, bass, backing vocals; and Andy Herrin, drums) had added a fifth member (Aaron Kellim; guitar and backing vocals) a month prior. When their original frontman refused to practice, the band practiced with Aaron in his place. Aaron brings a compelling stage presence and a positive outlook to One Lone Car.
