Behind the Band with Del & The Wave

Del & The Wave started as a dream for something more -- to achieve what other people always wished they could, but couldn't for the reasons life provides. So they sold their stuff and bought a crappy white van, thus the beginning the journey of a lifetime. Since then they've played across the Midwest, bringing their tight harmonies and folk roots to the Indie Pop Rock scene with accessible, yet deep & meaningful lyrical themes....topped off by a brotherhood hell-bent on speaking in as many horrible accents as possible. Today I am speaking with Del & The Wave from Columbus, OH. During our conversation we talk about:

What inspired the band to form
Reasons the band up rooted from Connecticut to move to Ohio
The steps the band has taken to grow as a group and as individuals

I loved hearing about the process of moving states away and finding a city they wanted to settle in. I could relate to moving for the purpose of growing as a musician. We get into that during our conversation and as we talked we got to know each others reasons for being so invested in music. I hope to bring Del & The Wave back to Dayton soon.

Something I hope that everyone can take away from this conversation is taking a calculated risk for a project can have an amazing return, especially with the right group of people. I’d like to challenge you to find a community (on or offline) that supports not only the growth of your band but also you as an individual. Tell us about the communities you are involved with or plan to get plugged into by emailing us at [email protected] or telling us on Twitter @hearseeco.
