"Like a good cry-and like the best country music-Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn's songs are all shuddering sighs, aching confessions and upturned hearts spilling out over layers of pedal steel, fiddle and acoustic guitar, delivered by two of the most disparately beautiful voices to ever meld." —Paste Magazine
The everybodyfields, from East TN, offer melancholic interpretations of universal human stories set to achingly beautiful melodies and put to life with such instrumentation as lap steel, lead guitar, electric bass, piano and acoustic guitar. The members cite their influences as country, rock and roll, and folk. Fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, the two share instruments and seamlessly merge their wildly different voices. Quinn's echoing twang reverberates like a long-lost radio broadcast and provides a hard edge to Andrews pure, soothing tones. Straightforward and sure, the everybodyfields are more accessible to listeners than many modern musicians. Their sets' gentle humor combined with songs about real-life sorrows demonstrate an appreciation for tradition, while at the same time conjuring up something that is not, in fact, traditional at all.
I was starting off my morning right this morning listening to you guys. The instant that I stopped the shower, the apple bite crunch started the bonus track on "Nothing is Okay". It caught me by surprise, and I freaked out for a split second. I thought someone broke into my house and was just chilling out eating chips. I have to say, it was pretty awesome after the initial shock.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to express my deep regret the I did not discover your music until after you all have gone your separate ways, as I would have loved to catch a live show. The state of most country music today (that is, the mass-/over-produced kind) is, in my opinion, nothing short of abbysmal. In comparison, your songwriting and beautiful melodies are like a breath of fresh air. I've checked out some of your "solo" tracks, and while they are impressive, Jill's and Sam's voices together produce something very special. Of course, this is only the uneducated opinion of a person who appreciates music, not that of one who has spent any significant amount of time behind an instrument or a microphone, so please take this opinion only for what it is. Please send word of any reunion, especially if any such reunion swings through Athens, GA.
Thank you for the music you've created, and best wishes in all of your endeavors, you ridiculously talanted people.
Even though you have decided to part ways, I feel that one last show in or around Chapel Hill would probably make me the happiest person around. Just saying. =] Good luck! Jill, I'll hopefully be seeing you in Raleigh on Saturday!
