Destry is an indie folk band centered on Michelle DaRosa. Formerly a vocalist for Straylight Run, on June 3, 2008 Michelle left Straylight Run on friendly terms to pursue a solo career, beginning Destry soon after.
Destry's current work currently consists of collaborations between Michelle and four other artists, Sam Means of The Format, drummer Nico Childrey and Tyler Odom who played together in Cassino, and bassist Shaun Cooper of Straylight Run and Taking Back Sunday.
Michelle DaRosa said all five have collaborated, but have never been in the same room together. The band was proven to have finally been all together by a MySpace blog post by Michelle on February 2, 2009. She also says the only members of a possible tour would be herself, Nico, and Shaun.
On May 1, 2009, the band announced via Myspace that it would have a short tour with The Narrative in June staying within Northeastern America.
Destry's first studio album, It Goes On, was released on October 30, 2009.
