BIO
Bradley Briggs, Steven Burkholder, Daniel Field and Jeremy Schering had known one another for the better part of a decade before forming Urbanites. They met in Valparaiso, Indiana - a community that unifies the rustic midwest with nearby Chicago, Illinois. The four began making music by exchanging (destroying, and restoring) computer files and occasionally passing around a weathered acoustic guitar. After years of conversations and individual collaborations, they came to understand that, when the four of them came together, it was the kind of band that each of them had always wanted to be in.
REVIEWS
"Impressive... arena-rattling grandeur"
Chicago Sun Times
"Hailing from the Indiana Burbs of Chicago, the band sounds too mature and confident to stay a local secret for long. Full, robust and heartfelt rock, the band is just getting started with a sky's-the-limit sound."
- Avant Chicago
'With a sound as big as it is – all the more impressive for a band so young – its music can practically move mountains.'
