The Funeral Portrait is an emotional rock band known for their blend of theatrics and commitment to delivering loud, anthemic music. The group consists of Lee Jennings (vocals), Cody Weissinger (guitar), Caleb Freihaut (guitar/auxiliary), Robert Weston (bass), and Homer Umbanhower (drums), and they are signed to Better Noise Music. Their highly anticipated debut full-length album is set to release in early 2023. This explosive record features production from Johnny Andrews (Three Days Grace, Motionless In White, Halestorm) and Josh Landry, also known as Lø Spirit (Motionless In White), with mixing and mastering handled by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy).

Since their inception, The Funeral Portrait has been touring relentlessly, sharing the stage with major acts like Shinedown, Underoath, Skillet, From Ashes to New, Starset, Pvris, and more. They recently performed on the main stage at the Inkcarceration Festival, and their latest single, "Holy Water," received consistent airplay on Sirius XM's Octane. The band has also been featured in Alternative Press’s “100 Bands You Need to Know,” Rocksound, and their track "Holy Water" was highlighted in multiple episodes of All Elite Wrestling.

The Funeral Portrait is fueled by their dedication to both their music and their devoted fanbase, known as The Coffin Crew. The band sees their live performances as a ritual and invites everyone to join—no excuses will be accepted for missing out.
Fan reviews:

I was impressed with their performance. Solid. The whole band was smiling, happy, and enjoying what they were doing. I'm looking forward to a headline show in the future.

The Funeral Portrait's set was amazing, and meeting the band after the show was so nice. Definitely a band to put on your bucket list.

The Funeral Portrait was amazing, it was my first time seeing them and I definitely wanna go again!

Was a great time! This was my second time seeing them and it was amazing! They have so much personality on stage and it all just feels alive! I can't wait for the next one!

They are by far one of thee best up and coming bands that have worked their asses off for the last 10 years in these 200 cap clubs. Last nights show, shows why they are getting the chance to play arenas in a few months with Five Finger Death Punch, congrats boys!

The Funeral Portrait is the band you need to follow and see live. The writing and heart that goes into their music can be felt. The show was amazing!

The show was amazing. They sounded perfect and the performance was high energy. The guys were all super nice and took time to talk to each fan and take photos. Can't wait until they tour near me again!
