The everybodyfields, the Tennessee trio that is rapidly gaining a deserved reputation as front-runners of the newest generation of the alt-country movement. The everybodyfields offers melancholic interpretations of universal human stories set to achingly beautiful melodies and put to life with such instrumentation as lap steel, lead guitar, electric bass, and acoustic guitar. The members cite their influences as country, rock and roll, and folk.
Fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, the two share instruments and seamlessly merge their wildly different voices—Quinn’s echoing twang reverberates like a long-lost radio broadcast and provides a hard edge to Andrews’ pure, soothing tones. Straightforward and sure, the everybodyfields are more accessible to listeners than many modern musicians, and their set’s gentle humor combined with their songs about real life’s sorrows and hardships demonstrate an appreciation for tradition while conjuring up something that is not at all traditional.
