Bio
UC began at Appalachian State University in 2005. We were both music majors at Appalachian and got to know each other in a choir that we both sang in. The thing that we really remember most about the formation of our friendship is cigars. The first few times we spent time together were on opposite sides of burning tobacco and billowing clouds of thick white smoke. We would talk about pain, happiness, freedom, aspiration, religion, fear, and most of all...love. Not from a disgustingly chipper angle or as though it were a redoubtable opponent, instead we spoke of love as it is: the center of all things. This belief at the core of each of us bound us together in a tight friendship very quickly. One night we played some music together. In this single evening it was abundantly clear to both of us that there was a special spark in the sound. The styles were different. Alan's leaned toward folk/jazz and Steve's pushed towards rock/pop, but the mesh seemed effortless. We were immediately pleased with the way our voices sounded while singing together and we quickly realized that this was a strong "Union" of styles. It only took a few practices and we were writing songs with the other guys part in mind and before long we had established a home for our specific musical creations..."Union County". The rest is future history. -UC
