The Detours

The Detours deliver a soulful collision of rock ‘n’ roll, and indie grit. With songwriting rooted in emotional honesty and a sound that echoes the golden era of analog warmth, the band crafts music that’s equally suited for a dive bar jukebox or a festival stage at sunset. Led by frontman Brett Kohler, whose voice balances raw vulnerability with confident swagger, The Detours are a collective of seasoned musicians who blend lyrical storytelling with tight musicianship with Misha Molove on guitar, Ryan Clure on bass and John Keyes on drums. The result is a sound that nods to influences like Tom Petty, Eagles, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and Oasis while carving out a lane that’s distinctly their own. Formed in Los Angeles, the band quickly gained a reputation for high-energy live shows and emotionally resonant performances. Whether they’re playing stripped-down acoustic sets or full-blown electric shows, Brett Kohler and The Detours bring intensity, nuance, and a deep love for the craft of songwriting to every stage they hit.
