Formation
2 Hours Later was formed in August of 2011 in Visalia California with Vocalist Keith Lukehart, Guitarist Jared Lukehart, Bassist Todd Wilson, and Drummer Ed Oehlert. Keith and Jared Lukehart had been raised in a family with strong musical roots and began writing and composing songs together in the early 2000’s. After the breakup of a local rock band Todd and Jared were in, Todd began pushing Keith and Jared to start using their songs to form a new band. Todd and Jared got together with Keith and began talks of forming a new band. Jared and Todd had played together with Ed’s previous band, which had also recently split apart, and contacted him in hopes of starting a new project. The four began meeting and having small jam sessions, which quickly became the formation of 2 Hours Later. 2 Hours Later continued writing new material and then began recording their album, Still Waiting, in December of 2011. Still Waiting was released on June 30th, 2012 in their home town of Visalia California and 2 Hours Later performed its first live show.

Why 2 hours later?
The name, 2 Hours Later, came about after several practice sessions and discussing band names. The band scheduled a practice for noon one day, and all members except Keith arrived on time. Keith finally arrived at 2:00pm and was told “Finally, two hours later you show up.” The name 2 Hours Later became an inside joke with the band, but was ultimately voted to be the band’s name.

Bands 2 hours later has played with
Since the release of Still Waiting, 2 Hours Later has had the opportunity to play many shows in the Central Valley and open for many talented artists and bands, such as Psychostick, Black Light Burns, The Witch Was Right, and Orgy.
