The independent music scene is abuzz about Christian 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.
Along with taking their passionate and energetic show throughout California, at times
sharing the stage with nationally recognized bands such as This Beautiful Republic,
Downhere, Ever Stays Red, Kingston Falls, and others; even 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 California Central ValleyÆs premier morning show ôGreat Dayö on KMPH Fox 26
has allowed this distinctive band an introduction to a much broader audience. They have
also received coverage in publications such as Christianity Today, Roads Magazine, Visalia
Times Delta and the College of the Sequoias newspaper, as well as, airtime on physical and
online radio stations like 94.1 FM "In the Honor" and New Creation Radio. In addition, Fellow
was recently selected and performed at Central California's largest music festival, Spirit
West Coast.
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 on guitar, as well as, their friends Zach Cowherd on drums and Jordan Dudley
on bass.
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".
Fellow, often compared to artists in the vein of Flyleaf and Paramore, is not content to simply speak to
life's conundrums. They want to provide something that is lacking in much of mainstream music today: hope.
Their songs touch a person's emotional pain and frustrations to show them that they are not alone -
everyone goes through difficult times.
However, where much music stops, Fellow has just begun. It is their desire to speak to hurting hearts
with their music and point them towards God for healing. They want to bring hope where there has been
abuse, discouragement and rejection.
At the foundation of Fellow's mission is their desire to use music as a tool for ministry, to reach people
and ultimately, to touch God.
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.
