The Neverbeens
The Neverbeens formed in the winter of 2006, when founding members Steve Ferrara and Tali Hersh, two established singer-songwriters, crossed paths at a Brooklyn open mic. Over time, Katie Fuller and the Reverend Crawford Forbes signed on to fill out the band's unique sound. As a band of multi-instrumentalists, The Neverbeens now take turns playing different instruments, often switching between guitar, piano, mandolin, trumpet, percussion, harmonica, electric bass and drums. A Neverbeens live show will travel from neurotic crashes of rhythm and soul down to a melodic whisper. Their variety of writing styles and sounds are credited to their many influences, such as Suzanne Vega, Bright Eyes, Phish, The Editors, Gomez and Cat Power.
The band released a self titled EP in February '07 and their debut full length album 'Straight line' came out in September '07. Following the release of their album, The Neverbeens toured across the Northeast and Midwestern United States and Canada. While at home in Brooklyn, they often perform in various NYC clubs from Mercury Lounge and Knitting Factory to Goodbye Blue Monday and Pete's Candy Store. Currently the band continues to tour the US, gaining fans and spreading their love of music. They are also in the process of recording an EP for release in September '08.
