The group formed around singer-songwriter and guitarist Vaughan Rhea, originally from Tennessee, who had come to Orlando playing as an acoustic coffee shop act with his brother and co-lyricist Dave, on bass. Inspired by grunge music, the brothers put together a band and began playing somewhat harder-sounding tunes, though still acoustic-based. Soon after, the band was opening locally for national acts as they toured through Orlando venues such as Hard Rock Live and House of Blues . They released an independent debut album, Panes , as VonRa, in 1997. A second independent release, VonRa , followed in 1999, and a third, Fame , in 2001.
