Formed in 2012 in Sydney, Australia Stand Atlantic has produced 3 studio albums, and is currently nominated for Australian Album of the year for “ F.E.A.R.” Vocalist Bonnie Fraser, performed flawlessly and kept the energy up amongst the crowd, at one point the band even asked Nashville to “Boo them off the stage” to throw off the other bands backstage, which had everyone laughing and fully engaged in what they had to offer.
