One Time Mountain is a hard-hitting rock band based out of Boston, MA, known for their electrifying stage presence and classic-meets-modern sound. Formed in 2012, the band has carved out a name for themselves in the New England rock scene and beyond, blending the swagger of AC/DC and Motley Crue with the soul of Paul Rodgers and the grit of The Black Crowes. The current lineup features Brian Murphy, Ethan Garman, Zach Rizzo, and Alec Smith, each bringing their own fire to the band’s evolving legacy.
The name "One Time Mountain" represents transformation. While a mountain may appear unchanged on the outside, it's constantly being shaped from within by the forces around it. The same is true for the band, whose sound and spirit have been forged through years of hard work, personal growth, and resilience. From headlining sold-out Boston rock clubs to sharing the stage with legends like Steven Tyler, Candlebox, Buckcherry, and King's X, One Time Mountain has built their reputation one show at a time.
Driven by passion and perseverance, the band continues to write, record, and evolve together. Whether jamming, partying to rock n roll, or hosting a wild karaoke night, music is always at the center of their lives. After nearly falling apart during the pandemic, the band returned with a renewed purpose and sound that reflects their journey. With new videos, merch, an upcoming EP, their first vinyl release, and a second full-length album on the horizon, One Time Mountain is climbing higher than ever.
