Fernandina (NEW EP!!)

I’ve got bats in my belfry!

About Me

Fernandina is an indie/alt/folk band that specializes in catchy melodies, dynamic soundscapes, soaring vocals, and lyrical accessibility. The writing and vocals of founding member Amy Coccia venture into cross-genre territory, leaving no stone unturned. With influences like the citified, country-tinged songs of Rilo Kiley & Neko Case, the anthem inspiring rock-and-roll of Jimmy Eat World, the catchy electronic stylings of The Postal Service, and the raw, gritty vocals of Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks, Coccia’s bag of tricks seems endless.FERNANDINA'S FIRST LIVE SHOW @ the Milestone in Charlotte, NC!Fernandina Live
