Sing-a-long indie loveliness from the Crossroads of America, or what happens when six songwriters get together and make a band.
A lot of folk with some of everything else thrown in there too. Folk yeah.
The first full-length album release from Yearbook Committee. Featuring Christina Blust, Jon DaCosta, Travis Dillon, David Goodier, Brad Lone, and Rachel Rasley. With the additional musical stylings of Jimmy Rinehart, John Murray, Eric Rasley, Jess DaCosta, and Mike Myers.
Press excerpts
“an instrument-switching, vocalist-rotating, everybody-writing sextet with a love of grassroots music and the people who love it back. Dig: The Innocence Mission and Steve Earle trade licks and whittling techniques on the universe’s front porch.”
CityBeat (Cincinnati)
“This band of six musicians have broken out of the traditional form of what makes up a band and in turn are playing as one whole harmonious unit, literally.”
Emily Speakes, SXSW
“Indiana’s Yearbook Committee falls under the orchestral folk out umbrella, but has a slightly darker sound than expected, though their range is wide with rotating songwriters in the band.”
