2010 was the year of Thera in Alaska. Thera expected to satiate their small, but loyal and passionate following of fans by releasing their surprisingly mature first full length album, If This is the End…, in February. In fact, just the opposite happened. The album arrived to critical acclaim and their fan base exploded and immediately began clamoring for more. Multiple venues in and around their hometown of Anchorage began competing to get Thera on their playbill. By the end of the year, Thera had secured the revered “Artist of the Month” honor from 94.7 The End, Anchorage’s premier progressive rock radio station and was also crowned “Best Local Band” by the Anchorage Press. As summer turned to fall, Thera was adding new music to their continually packed live shows, leading them to be hand-picked to share the stage with artists such as Red, Underoath, Norma Jean, Emery, and Thousand Foot Krutch, and most recently, 36 Crazyfists.

As a close-knit group, they are celebrated for an ever-energetic and involved live show. Members Stephanie Plate, Ronnie Plate, Benny Maus, Mason Venhaus, and Steven Cornfield interact in such a way that the crowd can’t help but leave each show more inspired than the last. A full merchandise line, sustained sales, and a consistent online presence only adds to the ways in which Thera maintains such high caliber professionalism.

This past year has left Thera with a passion for learning, developing, and striving for more. While keeping their Alaskan values, they have started 2011 by moving as a unit to Washington State to build upon their seasoned traveling experiences through Oklahoma, Texas, and California. There, they will continue to write and expand their musical horizons in the way that Alaskans have come to expect from Thera.
