INSIDE SPRINGFIELD’S EARTH DAY MUSIC FEST
A FIELD FULL OF LIFE
Wilco Returns to Springfield After Two Decades
ASK ANY CASUAL WILCO LISTENER about the band's connections to Springfield, Missouri, and you're not going to hear about the gold record that hung on the late, great, Lou Whitney's wall in The Studio — a Springfield institution that contributed to their double album, Being There, in 1996. Instead, you'll likely hear about the last time the band appeared in southwest Missouri, and the 20 years that had them playing practically everywhere else around the globe.
Music Interview: The Underhill Family Orchestra
Photographed and interviewed by Matt Loveland
The Underhill Family Orchestra delivers an indie folk-rock sound steeped in a modernized rowdy Appalachian stomp. The band is made up of five musicians — Joe Grove, Steven Bryte Laney, Joelle Rosen, Benjamin Michael Cook and Roy Durand — all with diverse musical backgrounds and hailing from various parts of the South. Forming a home base in Mobile, Alabama, the band is seeking new fans and experiences across the States with a tour promoting their newly released album, Tell Me That You Love Me, which showcases what the band describes as Southern progressive pop. Drummer Roy Duran was featured in Issue 06 of Deitra Magazine with his previous band, Vagabond Swing, and contacted Editor Tamara Styer before stopping in at Front of House Lounge in downtown Springfield, Missouri. Deitra Mag's own Matt Loveland got the chance to catch up with this energetic collective to chat about their new music, performing on stage together and life on the road.
