About us

We are a group of five childhood friends from Minnesota‘s Iron Range, drawn together by a shared love of music and a desire to create something new and exciting. We have honed our craft over the years, performing in various bands until launching Ranger Things in 2017.

Our music brings to life the hits we grew up with in the 70s and 80s, adding a modern twist that sets us apart from other bands. You can expect to hear covers of Johnny Cash and Elvis, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, all the way to Ramones and Green Day. We are excited to share our passion with you and hope that you will join us on our journey.
