Joining together in the spring of 2009, Paul Ritacco, Alex Young, and Nick Burmeister wasted little time, infusing their abilities into a surprising and fresh style of rock music. Their highly energetic performances resulted in a wave of word-of-mouth hype that spread throughout West Michigan. The group quickly became a local favorite of Kalamazoo, Michigan, having the energy of a punk band but displaying a vast array of musical influences. Local venues soon learned that while Pan’s sound was hard to label; it was easy to place them in diverse line-ups, popular with a wide variety of other bands. Pan’s reputation has been built on the strength and solidity of their live shows.
