The independent music scene is abuzz about the new alternative rock band, Fellow, who has been making quite an impression with fans both in concert and on the web since the summer of 2007. Moreover, in a nationwide Battle of the Bands competition, they were voted through to the final round by fans, giving their music with a "cool piano vibe", international exposure while further developing their quickly growing fan base.
In addition to taking their passionate and energetic show throughout California, at times sharing the stage with nationally recognized bands such as Downhere, Kingston Falls, The Messenger, Remove the Veil and others; even recently initiating interstate touring with a performance in Chicago, IL; they have received exposure through a variety of media outlets as well. Having the opportunity to perform on regional television, such as being featured on the Central Valley’s premier morning show “Great Day†on KMPH Fox 26, as well as receiving coverage in publications, such as the College of the Sequoias student newspaper, has allowed this distinctive band an introduction to a much broader audience.
Upon first listen, it is strikingly apparent that Fellow is truly unique in the current sonic landscape. Their fresh sound, along with their contemplative lyrical approach, as penned by lead vocalist Johanna Miller, have set their band apart with fans of modern rock. While Johanna fronts the group, often from the piano, she is ably supported by additional members of the band including her husband Jake Miller and brother Jonathan Hendrickson on guitars as well as their good friend Zach Cowherd on drums.
Yet while musically invigorating, Fellow also aims to be spiritually engaging. And, simply put, that is truly the core of Fellow's mission: to produce music that is not only a musical feast, but is also nourishing, speaking to the fundamental issues of humanity.
As one enthusiast put it, "...it is very commendable to be able to mix awesome music with a positive message".
Their songs touch a person's emotional pain and frustrations to show them that they are not alone - everyone goes through difficult times.
Fellow takes the listener through a journey that effortlessly melds musical styles while keeping a strong rock edge and, at times, almost a disarming level of intensity. Yet, while often dark and reflective, Fellow always keeps the light on at the end of the tunnel.
