Rare Americans are a Canadian based band that perform mainly rock/alternative music. Their songs frequently focus on telling a story such as “Cats, Dogs, and Rats,” “I vs I,” and “Pay Me Back.” They have three members; James, Lubo, and Jared. James is the lead singer, Lubo is the Guitarist, and Jared does all the behind the scenes work. James and Jared are brothers.

Previously, James and Lubo were in a band together called “The Lunas.” While James and Jared were on a trip to the Caribbean, James jokingly said to him that they should write a song and instead Jared replied with “A song? Why not a full album?” After they returned, Lubo joined into their band as well. They kept thinking of names until randomly Jared suggested the name “Rare Americans” and it stuck. That’s how Rare Americans was born.
