Underground Angel is some of Central Kentucky’s best known talent.
Keri Rigg’s (Vocals/Guitar) has been performing in this area since the age of three and has won numerous local talent competitions. Keri is the high purity of our sound. Her crystal clear vocals offset the rather rough sound of the rest of the band. Keri's range is the envy of a lot of vocalist.
Gordon West (Guitar) The "Old Man" of the band, Gordon has been playing in bands since 16 (About 23 years now). But he won't let these youngsters get too far ahead. His influences are primarily blues, Buddy Guy, B.B. King and Eric Clapton.
Ian Stalcup (Bass). Influenced primarily by the heavier sounds of the 80’s through today, we are looking forward to the edge that his style will add.
Matt Stillwell (Rhythm Guitar) The soul of the rhythm section. Matt's groove sets the feel for the bands music.
David Hellman (Drums). If Matt is the soul, then David is the heartbeat of the band. David ha some pretty eclectic influences and adds the needed drive to our music.

Why this name?
the band felt it fit their personality and style. This was planned as the name of their first Album and still will be. I think a lot of bands name their first album after the band. I wonder how many bands are named after their first album?
Do you play live?
We love live music. It is the best possible way to interact with the public. A band or artist on CD is great but a live show really lets that artist convey the spirit of the music.
Currently Underground Angel is playing in and around Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is a great tool for new groups. It gives artists the opportunity to reach people well beyond their geographic limits.
The current “Industry” problems with internet music will have to be solved in order for either the industry or internet music to continue to grow.
It is a symbiotic relationship between the music “industry” and the buyer. With out the money, the music goes away. Artists have to be compensated for the time and effort or they will not be able to continue. Buyers have to be given a reasonable price for the product.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If it were on terms that they all could be comfortable with, yes.
