Eisley

Beginning being a quirky alt-pop group and changing right into a more-rock oriented action over time, Eisley may be the task of Sherri DuPree Bemis and her cousin Garron DuPree. The music group produced in 1997 once the DuPree siblings — vocalist/guitarist Sherri, guitarist Chauntelle, vocalist/keyboardist Stacy, and drummer Weston — started playing their whimsical music with bassist Jon Wilson. Originally known as the Towheads, they started playing regional coffeehouse gigs within their hometown of Tyler, Tx, when Stacy was simply eight yrs . old. Over the following five years, the group composed and played, growing their touring region towards the Dallas-Fort Value region and eventually earning a 2003 Ideal New Act Honor from your Dallas Observer. Several months later on, Eisley released their debut EP, Laughing Town, within the indie imprint Record Collection, and toured that springtime and summer time with Coldplay and Ron Sexsmith. The Wonderful Things EP showed up later on in 2003, adopted in early 2005 by their major-label debut, Space Sounds. Jon Wilson remaining the music group that summer, as well as the DuPree siblings enlisted their more youthful cousin, Garron DuPree, to fill up the vacant placement. Garron produced his studio room debut on 2007’s Mixtures, which presented a somewhat darker, even more rock-oriented audio. A five-track EP, Just like the Stars, followed later on that 12 months, marking the band’s last launch for Warner Bros. and paving just how for a fresh contract with Equivalent Vision Information. Eisley’s debut recording for the label, 2011’s The Valley, handled within the group’s romantic relationship problems: Chauntelle handled a damaged engagement to Acquiring Back again Sunday’s Adam Lazzara, while Sherri divorced her 1st spouse, Chad Gilbert of New Found out Glory. Currents, the band’s 4th long-player, found its way to 2013 and was mirrored by way of a Kickstarter campaign to improve $100,000 to tour to get the discharge. In 2015, Eisley announced that Chauntelle and Stacy had been departing to pursue their very own tasks, while Weston would no more tour using the group (Remington DuPree had taken over live drumming responsibilities). Nevertheless, Weston do play drums in the band’s 5th record, 2017’s I’m Just Dreaming.
