Biography
Intoxicating melodies and pounding rhythms
landed Fern a tour with the well known Goo
Goo Dolls in October 1999. In August of 2000
Fern played with the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Moby, Fuel, Our Lady Peace, Marcy Playground
and many more at the Rolling Rock Town Fair
in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Playing all over the Midwest has given this
three-piece outfit plenty of opportunity to
hone their live skill. Based in Springfield,
Missouri, Fern plays regularly in Kansas City,
St. Louis, Tulsa, Columbia, Springfield, and
many cities in between. The band has played
in Chicago as well as New York City. The four
played the Mississippi River Music Festival
(MRMF) in St. Louis and South by Southwest
in Austin, Texas.
Currently Fern is signed to an independent
label, Ebbline Records. The band has made
an effort to play in front of larger record
companies when possible. Some of those that
generated the most interest include the Workgroup,
Dreamworks, and Lava/Atlantic, all of which
have given money to Fern to record a demo
with well-known producer Ted Niceley. Other
interested labels include Sony 550, Epic,
Columbia, and Universal.
Fern has been playing together since August
of 1995 and has accomplished many of the goals
they set when they began. Being in a perpetual
balance of writing great songs, playing shows,
recording, and succeeding financially is a
delicate task. Fern is trying its best to
do it all and like any great rock 'n' roll
band, continues to reach more fans and increase
their following.
