About us
Meet Todd and Leah Severson
We're a husband-and-wife acoustic duo based in Carmel, Indiana. We play restaurants, breweries, private parties, weddings, and corporate events across the Indianapolis area.
Our story
How Forget the Name Band Started
We started playing music together for the joy of it: learning songs we loved, singing together, and sharing music with friends. It began as a hobby after our two daughters left home, and it quickly grew into something more.
Before long we were playing restaurants, breweries, private parties, and events across the Indianapolis area. Today we play everything from corporate holiday parties to backyard birthdays.
We've been married for over 30 years, and we've made Hamilton County our home since 1994.
