Brendan Stark wears many hats in Grand Rapids—he’s both a realtor with Keller Williams (part of the Stark Group) and a longtime musician. His latest project is with The White Rose Society, an indie seance-rock duo formed alongside his writing partner and adopted sibling, Kaya Jean VanAntwerpen. The two were previously co-writers in the pop-rock band Chasing the Sky, which found success in film and television. Stark is also known for fronting Chasing the Sky as a singer/songwriter and playing drums for Middlefield (formerly SLANT). In 2023, he released a solo album called Lantern.
Now, they are performing a show at The Intersection on Friday, January 31st. Tickets cost ten dollars, and the lineup features a few other artists. If you’re into indie, pop-rock, or rock music, it might be worth checking out their set to see what Stark and his collaborators have been working on.
