The band met at Purdue University, Fall of 2004. Matt Holbrook (Acoustic Guitar) and Adam Rutherford (Drums) started jamming together, both having a heavy interest in Dave Matthews. Jon Micklos (Bass), Brook Xiao (Violin/Piano), and Jimmy Winn (Electric Guitar) stumbled across the band through friends, facebook and just hearing the two play together. The band became known as Paradise Regained, and started playing shows at multiple events across campus throughout the year. To date, the band has played at the Battle of the Bands University of Indianapolis, Lafayette Brewing Company, Where Else, Wabash College, Sig Eps, Lambda Chi, Phi Psi, Sigma Chi, Betas, Kappa Sigs, Theta Taus, and many others. Paradise Regained released its first album the summer of 2007, and can be found on iTunes and CDBaby. The band has disbanded and currently not touring.
