Fernandina is an indie/alt/folk band that specializes in catchy melodies, dynamic soundscapes, soaring vocals, and lyrical accessibility. The writing and vocals of founding member Amy Coccia venture into cross-genre territory, leaving no stone unturned. With influences like the citified, country-tinged songs of Rilo Kiley & Neko Case, the anthem inspiring rock-and-roll of Jimmy Eat World, the catchy electronic stylings of The Postal Service, and the raw, gritty vocals of Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks, Coccia’s bag of tricks seems endless.
FERNANDINA'S FIRST LIVE SHOW @ the Milestone in Charlotte, NC!
I will never get tired of Fernandina or your antics :D As a matter of fact, I was talking to Jeremy about another tour. We were so bummed out Monday morning. If you want to put another couple of dates together (like thu-sun) we'd be up there in a heart beat. I really mean that.
yes we should definitely hang out soon. and yes you spelled lupie's correctly. and i also stayed up until around 6 or that night except i didn't have to tip toe around any sleeping bodies. still, it would've been fun to be silly with you guys all night. we should have one of those nights saturday after my show.
totally understandable : ) it was such a pleasure meeting and playing with you guys. thank you kindly for letting us stay with you, and for being such a gracious host! ah, and thanks for listening!
hope we keep in touch and play more shows together in the future.
Bunny is too tired to think of an alliterative announcement about awesomeness of the fantastic and fabulous Fernandina show last night, or make his normal plea to come to Columbia. You’ll just have to pretend he said all that.
Bunny's human analog saw you last night at the totally awesome Rilo Kiley show. he is looking forward to going up to see you soon, but if you want to see Bunny you have to come to Columbia.
hey duh fart n weena! have a great time tonight! i wish i could be there to dance like a crazy person & scare away the other bar patrons :) have fun w/my boy hank the tank!
hey amy, i know that i called you twice today, i am sorry if that was too much :) i hope not, anyway call me after work if you want to drink a refreshing beer. i will provide. :) hope you had a great day!
