Built on memorable songs, soulful vocals, and exceptional musicianship, the band delivers performances that celebrate resilience, friendship, and the enduring power of great music. Founded by bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Allan Cole and guitarist Jason Meeker, the band's sound combines thoughtful songwriting with expressive guitar work and a shared commitment to authentic, engaging performances.

Drummers and percussionists Adeel Omer and Scott Uhrig provide the rhythmic foundation with dynamic, intuitive performances that bring every song to life. Whether performing original music or carefully chosen covers, Movement Disorder creates shows that are energetic, heartfelt, and deeply engaging. Their chemistry on stage, strong musicianship, and genuine love of playing together make every performance an invitation to connect through songs that move people and leave audiences wanting more.
