Current Entertainment

The Name “Current Entertainment” was born when Blankenship wasn’t sure what to name his band when asked in West Virginia 2019, before the band we know today even existed; “Current Entertainment” was the first name that came to mind, and it stuck!

The first tastes of Current Entertainment came when Aiden and Eric met in a Guitar Center in Columbus, Indiana, circa summer 2018. They met over a jam, when Eric was playing Sitar and Aiden decided to grab a guitar off the wall and joined in. They have grown to have an unparalleled musical connection since

John joined the group during a concert when he jumped on stage with his saxophone and decided to play along on that spot.

After working with a couple different drummers and bassists, the group finally landed on Ethan and Hayden to play in the band.

Ethan is a very thoughtful drummer who very carefully chooses each touch he makes on a drum, which is essential to Current Entertainment’s sound that we know today.

Hayden is a classical guitar major who uses his knowledge of music to ride under each song and add a tasteful layer of complexity to the music.

Along with Hayden, Eric is also a classical guitar major at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

Also in the school of music, John is a jazz saxophone major at Indiana University
