Having shared stages and studios in years past, in April 2013 a landmark birthday party brought the band members together again and The Meadows was formed. Their histories drag through punk, alternative, improv and prog jazz, folk and country.The Meadows has become a seeding bed for writing and experimentation, both together and individually. Their recently released self-titled recording is available at: themeadows1.bandcamp.com.
