Most kids come home from summer camp with bug bites and dirty clothes. For Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, a stint at a Methodist summer camp in 1999 left them with a lasting musical connection.
I was completely inspired
said Andrews of the musically inclined campers she met that year, who motivated her to take up the guitar. But it was Andrews' love of singing that drew Quinn to his future band-mate G Quinn said. For such a depressing band things are at an all-time high.
Though the everybodyfields' desperate lyricism does prove heartbreaking at times, Quinn and Andrews' conversational harmonies refresh the songs, which rest atop mostly country and bluegrass-inspired tracks peppered with fiddles and pedal steel.
Quinn said their songs sound even better live ' a statement that could be proved tonight when the band hits the stage with Woody Pines at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville.
We're in our element onstage
Quinn said.
Andrews echoes those sentiments.
Playing the songs I've written live is one of the best feelings I've known
she said. We put every ounce of energy we have into what we do onstage G? we don't fake it. We go out there and put our hearts on our sleeves.
Judging by the everybodyfields' current string of successes G
things are going pretty well
Quinn said. I couldn't ask G? well
I could ask for more
but I'd feel like I was being greedy.
