Floater began in 1993 when Robert Wynia (lead vocals, bass), Peter Cornett (drums), and Dave Amador (guitar), got together in Eugene, Oregon, making their start at garage parties and the U of O beer garden. With compelling lyrics and adept storytelling, their music shifts in mood from the insistent and heavy to the melodic and soulful, comprising the signature sound for which Floater is best known.

Floater’s regional success was noticed by Elemental Records, who put out their first full-length record, “Sink” in 1994. That same year Floater began a string of sold out shows at the Community Center for the Performing Arts (The WOW Hall) that is still unbroken to this day.

In 1995 Floater released “Glyph” and toured the country for the next two years supporting the record. The single, “Danny Boy” received heavy college and commercial radio play, in many cities outselling major label releases. Floater received nominations to the preliminary level of the Grammy’s from NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) in 1995 under Best Rock Performance for “Sink” and in 1996 under Best Alternative Performance for “Glyph.” (Prelims are determined by nominations from the NARAS members).

In 1998, following their move to Portland, Oregon (where the band currently resides), Floater released their third full-length record, “Angels in the Flesh and Devils in the Bone.” The second concept album by the band (“Sink” was the first), “Angel’s” brought a new vibe to Floater.
