Native Love

About

Native Love was formed in Newport News in 2020 and consists of Thomas Fosdick, Caleb Tupper, and Geoff Fosdick. For them, music is the best way to communicate the most intense emotions, the craziest of situations, and the intimacies of everyday existence. It’s their lives in a way everyone can understand, which is why they make music. That, and having real jobs is something they'd all rather avoid. Songwriter, lead singer, and guitarist Thomas Fosdick grew up in Staunton, Virginia listening to The Beatles, Third Eye Blind, and Led Zepplin. These inspirations led him to learn lead guitar. In college, he honed his songwriting and performance skills and continues to write accessible music and lyrics about life, love, and everything in between. Bassist Geoff Fosdick is a multi-talented musician. Although the bass is his go-to, he adds tasteful touches with the Hammond C3. Originally from Long Island, where he played guitar for Legally Blind, Geoff grew up listening to Steely Dan and the Beatles. His love for music inundates every song with snappy basslines and catchy melodies. Drummer Caleb Tupper hails from Gainsville, VA. Music has been a part of Caleb's life from a young age, taking classical piano and jass drumming lessons. Today, Caleb finds inspiration from drum legends John Bonham and Steve Smith, while adding a bit of modern flair from drummers like David Cola and Larnell Lewis. Together, they are Native Love: Exactly like nothing you’ve ever heard.
